We've created our own little interactive soundscape for an App from a 'kit of parts' with some Atmospheres I recorded so that we have a time-series of sound, linked to 360 video so that, like in Xbox/Playstation game, there is directional sound for the user to discover.

Its an area of interactivity I'd like to develop further. Id also liek to try and get a documentatry off the ground on that basis so I'd really like to hear from any one out there doing exciting field work on soundscapes and how we can acoustically 'fingerprint' habitats - like Bernie talked about in his TED lecture.

Just looking around here, updating the profile etcetera and will be posting about things coming up later, for instance the soundwalks I usually organize during the World Listening Day, in the summer. All the best from a snowy white Sweden! /Björn Eriksson

You have a way with speaking about the chorus of the wild natural that is truly inspiring and touching. I appreciate yr approach to the Arctic Live project of incorporating positive energy when possible into our efforts of preservation and activism. I am happy and grateful to join the community and dialogue with others who recognize the beauty and fragility of the "creature chorus" and and work in our unique ways to preserve and embrace that aspect of ourselves residing only in the wild natural.

Gratitudes & Warm Regards,

~Adam

I'll add some more info to my profile regarding the sound workshops.

We've just moved house (and country) so everything is rather chaotic at the moment.

Once I'm back in the swing of things, I'll upload some podcasts and event information.

It will hopefully be integrated into the permanent exhibition somehow. My proposal came from left field but is currently being considered: http://maaheli.ee/main/archives/1052

I may be reaching out to the community at some point for suggestions or recommendations for different forms of soundscape research.

At 7:33am on March 9, 2010, Katherine (Kat) Krause said…: Wonderful, Nino! Please tell us more about what you hear this Spring, and the wildlife and birds you are able to listen to in your beautiful part of the world. You can also post some of your work, if you like, pose questions, or share your thoughts on how to best protect the fragile fabric of what natural soundscapes remain viable. Cheers!

thank you very much for your welcome and please be patient with my primitive english. My interest on soundscapes, nature sounds (and music) is just personal - anything professional. Surfing the web and googleing I came across your ning site and here I am...
Currently I live in the tuscan countryside, a good place - especially at this time of the year - for capturing nature sounds and birdwatching.
Keep in touch.

I took down my video because I'm going to put up some other vids with their original sounds. Tis the point eh? I have a little camcorder and a fairly good field mic. Just tonight I got a vid of a tarantula wasp dragging a tarantula across the trail. The only problem with it is that you can still hear the "hum" of downtown. We'll see....

One of the goals in my work is to show my audience the changes in their environment (sounds) of everyday live. At the moment I think this is the best way to show an innocent bystander the effects of human live on their planet. On the other hand, I like the beauty of compressed time and what it does to apparently static situations like e.g. a day passing.

At 8:15am on June 20, 2009, Katherine (Kat) Krause said…: I look forward to seeing you there, Barbara!
