The Fragile Soundscapes of The Arctic Refuge

In 2006, we watched as a white poster board was held up to members of the US Congress in an attempt to portray the regions of The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as nothing but vast, white snow-covered nothingness, free space for unabashed resource extraction. But we knew that the soundscape reveals something quite different! In fact, the Arctic Refuge is teaming with…

Just look at the amazing list of Soundmaps put together by Music of Sound, New Zeland; our thanks to them for this great post. Check it out:… Continue

Art of the Landscape/Soundscape

Poignant -- the way that artistic expression now captures in breathtaking detail what once may have been commonplace awareness. As landscapes and soundscapes disappear from our daily life they are being captured and re-expressed by the artist, over and over throughout time. Catch the shadows - throw them back and forth, illuminate the world with creative awareness. Dig this work by Jim Denevan presenting the frozen surface of Lake Baikal,… Continue

Soundscape of the Day

Lovely how Phill Harding captures soundscapes from his daily life and turns them into extraordinary sharings. His soundscape blog invites the listener to sense his world and travel alongside through galleries, train trips, world cup football games, stereo shops, woods, gardens, barns, cricket matches and more. I love his inventive 'Buying an Earring for a 10 year-old Boy' ringtone!

Meet my invisible friend, The Soundscape!

Still amazed by the number of environmental and nature-related citizen groups, non-profits, teachers, biologists, and government organizations to whom 'soundscape' is still such an unknown concept! This vital tool of eco-system observation definitely needs to be 'talked up' to birders, non-profit civic groups, musicians, academics... journalists, public space administrators, architects, designers, public officials, and more. To many members of the team, soundscape surely is a…

AFRICA BY MIC AND BIKE

Now here's an intriguing start to a sound-led story. Soundscape recordists Huw and Bex recently grabbed their recorders, popped on their bikes, and left for a two-year ride. They began their expedition in the UK on March 5th 2009, and from that time until a scheduled end in Namibia in late 2010, the pair intend to cycle through up to 30 African countries in North, West, Central, East, and Southern Africa! On their 'Listen…
