Wake Up To The Sounds Of Daybreak Across The World, Friday, Sept. 11

NPR’s Morning Edition is airing a segment tomorrow (Friday, Sept 11) that will include some listeners’ sounds of daybreak, so tune in to your local public radio station if you have the chance. My recording and photo of the sunrise over Lake Michigan may be included.

The show’s producer said, “We’ll also have a web story with some of your stories, sounds and photos later this week, so keep an eye out. I will send an update once that’s online.

Thank you again for sharing with us – our team was so impressed by the time and effort that went into the submissions. It was a pleasure to listen to them.”

Not only is this call for recorded soundscapes at daybreak relevant for my Eco-Sensing and the Soundscape course at SAIC, it also reminds me of the micro radio event I created nearby on May 2, the “SoundTent at Camp Sherwin” for International Dawn Chorus Day. It was my contribution to an event organized by soundCamp | REVEIL in collaboration with The Radius, as Episode 63 in its long-running series for experimental radio and transmission art in Chicago. If the sound of my frail voice is any indication, it may be dissembling. Stay tuned!
