You are invited to participate in the first World Listening Day, which happens on Sunday, July 18, 2010. The purposes of World Listening Day are:

.

  • to celebrate the practice of listening as it relates to the world around us, environmental awareness, and acoustic ecology
  • to raise awareness about issues related to the World Soundscape Project, World Listening Project, World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, and individual and group efforts to creatively explore phonography
  • to design and implement educational initiatives which explore these concepts and practices

.

July 18 was chosen as the date for World Listening Day because it is the birthday of the Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer. Schafer is one of the founders of the Acoustic Ecology movement. The World Soundscape Project, which he directed, is an important organization which has inspired a lot of activity in this field, and his book Soundscape: The Tuning of the World helped to define many of the terms and background behind the acoustic ecology movement.

.

Here is how you can participate in World Listening Day:

.

· You can set aside some time when you pay attention to your soundscape.

· You can organize a listening party when people play field recordings.

· You can organize a soundwalk.

· Other possibilities…

    I’ve traslated it in italian here:

    L’associazione no-profit World Listening, in occasione 77esimo compleanno del compositore Raymond Murray Schafer, ha lanciato un’interessante iniziativa per porre al centro dell’attenzione il rapporto tra ascolto ed ecologie acustiche del mondo chiamata “World Listening Day”, che potremmo tradurre gossomodo come “giornata mondiale dell’ascolto”. Secondo quando scritto nella pagina ufficiale dell’iniziativa, le finalità di questa giornata sono:

    * celebrare la pratica dell’ascolto del mondo che ci sta attorno, la consapevolezza ambientale e l’ecologia acustica
    * incrementare il riconoscimento delle iniziative del Word Soundscape Project, del World Listening Project e del World Forum for Acoustic Ecology e gli sforzi di altri gruppi riguardo l’esplorazione della fonografia
    * progettare ed implementare iniziative educative che esplorino questi concetti e queste pratiche

    Questa interessante iniziativa avrà luogo il 18 luglio del 2010 ed è aperta all’iniziativa di gruppi e contributori locali sparsi per il mondo che potranno:

    * organizzare una incontro di ascolto (listening party) dove ascoltare registrazioni fatte sul campo (filed recordings)
    * organizzare una passeggiata sonora (soundwalk)
    * altre possibilità…

    May I wish you all the very best for the upcoming conference/festival ..

    Perhaps as we (try to) re-establish our human links with all aspects of ‘earth’, such (local) projects as this may develop into providing the language – and ‘songs’ – by which we may better achieve this

    I’m in Australia, in winter, in a country of great landscape and soundscape; one (unfortunately) increasingly disinterested in our real world

    Good luck !

    STEVE BARSOTTI, Seattle Phonographers Union

    http://www.seapho.org

    In honor of the first World Listening Day, the Seattle Phonographers
    Union invites the public to participate in a series of soundwalks on
    Sunday, July 18th at Seattle’s Green Lake from 10AM to 4PM. This event
    is FREE to the public; all are welcome.

    Throughout the day, SPU members will guide participants on silent walks
    around the lake, focusing attention on the diversity and complexity of
    the local soundscape.

    Walks start near the boat house at the south end of Green Lake (5900
    West Green Lake Way N, 98103), and will commence at 10 AM, Noon, 2 PM,
    and 4 PM. Each walk will begin with a brief introduction to basic
    principles of Acoustic Ecology and intentional listening, and will
    conclude with an opportunity for participants to discuss their
    experience.

    World Listening Day celebrates the practice of intentional listening as
    it relates to the world around us, environmental awareness, and
    Acoustic Ecology. It is organized by the World Listening Project (WLP),
    a not-for-profit organization devoted to understanding the world and
    its natural environment, societies, and cultures through the practices
    of listening and field recording.

    The Seattle Phonographers Union is a collective of artists from various
    disciplines who record and present the sounds of the world in concerts,
    radio programs, CDs, and other events. Our goal is to move beyond our
    habitual experience of sound, exploring the ways in which we recognize,
    differentiate, map, and navigate the sonic environment.

    soundpocket (http://www.soundpocket.org.hk) celebrates the first World Listening Day in Hong Kong with one-day event Let’s Listen – a group of active and critical listeners (university students of sound art, sound designers and engineers, artists…etc) lead a walk for silence in Wanchai, while distributing short quotations from Schafer’s book. After the walk, sonic artist Sin:Ned (Dennis Wong Chung Fai) shares with the public for the first time his private sound collection. Sin:Ned’s interests range from improvisation, sound art, experimental music, and noise art to field recordings. He says, “Collecting sound is like people collecting stamps in the old days.” Other sound collectors also share their favorite sound from their “stamp album” with Sin:Ned(http://sin-ned.blogspot.com).

    We support the initiative for the the Worldlisteningday on 18 july 2010. Our foundation organises a bicycletour to soundwalls around Utrecht / Holland . We are going to listen to the sounds of the highroad in front of, inside and on top of the soundwall. In Utrecht-Lunetten the soundwall was build in th 80’s and in Utrecht-Leidsche Rijn it is build this year. Nice question is: is there any progression?

    So great to see so many interesting adventures in sound and listening occurring for World Listening Day. As part of the Community Sound [e]Scapes creative research project based at the University of Guelph, we are encouraging local residents to record 2 minutes of sound from their everyday lives whereever they are at 12pm on the day and are featuring the sounds on our website on the World Listening Day page. Looking forward to hearing what people hear.

    Have a fantastic day of open ears!

    You are invited to participate in the first World Listening Day, which happens on Sunday, July 18, 2010. World Listening Day celebrates the practice of listening as it relates to the world around us, environmental awareness, and acoustic ecology.

    Come for a sound walk starting at the cannon at 1pm and walking down High Street for as long as you like… probably finishing around 13:30ish. Our mission is to listen (and record if you so feel inclined)!

    Where: At the signal cannon at the back of the Round House (facing the sea) in Fremantle

    When: Sunday 18 July BE AT THE CANNON (the time gun) NO LATER THAN 12:50 as the cannon goes off at 13:00 sharp

    July 18 was chosen as the date for World Listening Day because it is the birthday of the Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer. Schafer is one of the founders of the Acoustic Ecology movement. The World Soundscape Project, which he directed, is an important organization which has inspired a lot of activity in this field, and his book Soundscape: The Tuning of the World helped to define many of the terms and background behind the acoustic ecology movement.

    Le World Listening Project réunit principalement des compositeurs et des artistes autour de la sensibilisation à l’écoute de l’environnement sonore et la promotion de la pratique artistique de l’enregistrement (field-recording). En filiation directe avec le World Soundscape Project dont il partage déjà deux mots sur trois, c’est aussi en l’honneur de son instigateur, le canadien Raymond Murray Schafer, qu’il a choisi le 18 juillet (date de naissance de Schafer, ça ne s’invente pas !), pour organiser une première Journée mondiale de l’écoute, le World Listening Day. De toute façon, tous les prétextes sont bons pour tendre l’oreille et, ce dimanche, il y aura à plusieurs endroits du monde des conférences, des promenades sonores (soundwalks), des concerts.

    Peu d’initiative à attendre de la radio traditionnelle, à part sur la terre natale du projet, l’Illinois, où Dave Armstrong présentera un programme spécial dans Sounds Like Radio sur la publique WSIU à 10h du matin, heure française. Les autres initiatives radiophoniques relevées au programme nous proviennent de latitudes extra-nord-américaines. De France, c’est sur le stream de KKWNE (ex- Cannibal Caniche + WNE) qu’on pourra entendre une programmation de plus de vingt-quatre heures de compositions phonographiques sélectionnées par Anton Mobin, artiste entendu çà et là et notamment sur Arte Radio. Comme à son habitude, le laboratoire Locus Sonus aura ses micros ouverts en divers endroits du globe, diffusant en direct leurs captations topophoniques. À noter qu’une toute jeune webradio brésilienne, Radiolab, poussera son premier cri pour l’occasion. Mais c’est du côté de la berlinoise Radio Aporee que nous vient l’idée la plus emballante pour qui veut pratiquer un peu son écoute : comment sonnera notre planète en ce jour précis ? Le 18 juillet, chacun est donc invité à réaliser un “instantané” de son paysage sonore, là où il se trouve, puis à le localiser sur la carte mondiale. Pour savoir comment s’y prendre, il faut lire les instructions par ici et, pourquoi pas, relire notre entretien avec son fondateur, Udo Noll.

      Hi, please consider uploading your recording the the Purdue and Ubimark sponsored site http://ubimark.info/map, which uses an online mapping platform to create a real-time map of soundscape recordings made during World Listening Day. The site will map in real time the submissions and in a few weeks will make each recording available through a map embedded player. The recording needs to be smaller than 50 MB and no longer than 4 minutes. Wav files preferred, but wma or mp3 files are also welcome. If you have a link to the file already, you can paste it in the description field.

    Aloha from Maui, Hawai’i, home of what is quite possibly the world’s most silent place — Haleakala Crater. I do a weekly radio show called “Exquisite Rarities” on listener-supported, commercial-free Mana’o Radio. The show happens every Tuesday from 2 to 5 pm Pacific Standard Time, and you can catch it live streaming at manaoradio.com. On July 17 I will once again do a episode focused on World Listening Day. It’s become an annual feature. I call the episode “Dead Air” because I deliberately insert segments of silence so that the audience can focus on ambient sounds in their vicinity. Aside from those segments I’ll be focusing on voices, mostly human, some animal. I’ll be featuring Jaap Blonk and a number of tracks from the album Five Men Singing (Jaap Blonk, Koichi Makigami, Paul Dutton, Phil Minton, and David Moss). I’ll do poets (Kenneth Patchen for example), also some Tuvan throat singing and other surprising voices from non-Western cultures. No doubt some Bonnie Barnett and a couple of tracks from my brother Dick’s new CD “Not Far From Here.” Probably some yodeling. As I say, you can catch it on the Internet. Cheers. (Whispers too).

    Translation to Lithuanian:

    Pasaulinė Klausymosi diena švenčiama kasmet liepos 18-ąją, Kanados kompozitoriaus ir Pasaulio garsovaizdžio projekto (World Soundscape Project) įkūrėjo R.Murray Schafer gimimo dieną. Kompozitoriaus tyrimai paklojo pamatą garsovaizdžių studijoms ir garso ekologijai.
    Pasaulinės Klausymosi dienos tikslai:
    • Patirti, kokiais skirtingais būdais galime išgirsti aplink mus esančius garsus;
    • Atkreipti dėmesį į akustinės ekologijos judėjimą ir idėjas, kaip mažinti garso taršą;
    • Supažindinti su naujomis švietimo iniciatyvomis ir bendruomenių renginiais, susijusiais su klausymusi ir garso ekologija.

    Dalyvavimas 2012 m. Pasaulinėje Klausymosi dienoje remiasi šiais tikslais. Galite surengti klausymosi vakarą ar privačią įrašytų garsovaizdžių perklausą, organizuoti privačius ar viešus garsovaikščius, viešas diskusijas apie garso ekologiją ar prisidėti kokiu nors kitu būdu. Renginiai turėtų vykti trečiadienį, liepos 18 d. Tačiau jeigu Jums labiau tinka kuri nors kita savaitės (liepos 15-21 d.) diena, irgi gerai. Daugiau informacijos worldlistening@gmail.com.
