Locus Sonus : Locustream Audio Tardis
A live journey through a worldwide network of open microphones:

A rapid, imaginary journey between various open mikes of the Locustream project, initiated by the Locus Sonus lab. All the sounds that you hear were transmitted live from the distant locations where volunteers taking part in the project have set up microphones which permanently stream their chosen soundscape via the web. By switching from stream to stream and automatically sequencing the sound diffusion of each available Locustream webmics, we propose an analogy to the actual listening experience which you can experience for yourself on the Locustream Sound Map if you chose to listen to the Locus Sonus streams on a daily basis.
In parallel of the sound diffusion of each webmic, a black screen shows the name of the ‘locustreamer”, his location and the local time. The Tardis online process is automatic and reads the available streams.

chicago westside web micAfter May 17 the Locustream Sound Map remains on and open not only for you to listen but  participate by becoming a “web-miker.”

My personal participation includes the “chicago_westside” stream, and by co-directing the collaboration of the World Listening Project and Locus Sonus.
