Sunday, October 3 I perform with Chicago Phonography in “Temperatures and Shapes : Arctic Live/Chicago,” part of a Fifth Annual Chicago Calling Arts Festival event that creatively explores the themes of temperatures and shapes – such as ice, mountains, climate change, bodies of water, the shape of things to come – and Arctic Live, which also celebrates the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
You’re invited to participate in a special project of radio aporee and the World Listening Project for the first World Listening Day, on Sunday, July 18, 2010.
Radio aporee is an open project about the creation and exploration of public space. Its creator, Udo Noll asks you for help in creating an “audio snapshot of the world” as heard and recorded on World Listening Day. Aporee maps uses the Google maps interface to allow anyone to easily find their location on the map, then upload their audio via the web or mobile phone.
We’re inviting you to send an audio recording from your actual location, or other places of your interest on this day to the maps: http://aporee.org/maps/.
With your contributions collected on World Listening Day, Udo will then create a dedicated project page on the aporee map. As Udo says, “…besides having a nice documentation, I’m really intrigued by the idea of listening to the sounds of a particular day, around the world….” I’m very curious about what will happen, too.
I’m happy to announce that the American Society for Acoustic Ecology’s Listening for the Future symposium will take place from Friday, July 9 through Sunday, July 11 in Chicago. Hosted by the ASAE’s Midwest chapter and the World Listening Project this conference is the first of its kind in the United States.
My presentation, “Tourists in the Soundscape, Acoustic Ecology in Chicago” will be given at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, June 16 for the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology International Conference,Ideologies and Ethics in the Uses and Abuses of Sound in Koli, Finland.
(This concert event is a prelude to the 2010 World Forum for Acoustic Ecology conference in Koli, Finland. I will be giving a short presentation entitled “Tourists in the Soundscape” and participating in a panel discussion “What’s new? - 35 years later: Updates on The Tuning of the World, a discussion on the occasion of the upcoming German re-edition”. ) More info: http://www.akueko.com/

Recently, I started using AudioBoo and found it to be a fun social media “play thing” for posting field recordings. One interesting feature with potential for serious use is AudBoo’s ability to create a podcast in the iTunes Music Store. There you can download to the files or “boos” as well as subscribe to the podcast. You can tag your boos, search boos. This is the link for my AudioBoo. As in Twitter you can follow the profiles. You can also subscribe to everyone’s AudioBoos on the iTunes AudioBoos full podcast.
