CALLOUT: Acoustic Ecology Global Survey - Community Collaborative Publication

7/31/2024

 
Picture
Dear Sound Ecology Community,
Join us on a collaborative journey to create a paper that represents the collective voice of our emerging global community.

After sitting on the results of our global survey, we were at a standstill about what to do with them. We want to give everyone the opportunity to contribute reflections and insights on the five areas that dominated the survey: community, technology, environment, interdisciplinarity, and diversity. Our goal is to craft a multi-vocal, nomadic piece of writing that embodies the perspectives within our field, for subsequent publication.

How We'll Achieve This Together:
  1. Google Drive Setup: We’ve set up a dedicated folder on the WFAE Google Drive. Inside this folder, you will find five documents, each corresponding to one of our key areas.
  2. Contribution Guidelines: We are not looking for formal essays but rather personal reflections, thoughts, and insights. We encourage contributions from all corners of our community, regardless of how unconventional or unique they might be. We will be accepting submissions both as text and audio. Each voice is valuable and will contribute to the richness of our final piece. You don’t have to communicate in English, either, but in any way you feel that expresses your thoughts and feelings about the subject.
  3. Collaborative Writing: Feel free to contribute to any or all of the documents as you see fit. Your reflections can be as brief or as detailed as you like. Our aim is to gather a diverse array of perspectives that will ultimately be woven together by an assigned editor.
  4. Editing and Compilation: Once we’ve gathered contributions, board members or designated editors will review and compile the reflections. This process will respect the nomadic and multi-vocal nature of our project.
Thank you for your willingness to be a part of this project. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to reach out.
With gratitude,
Mickey Vallee and Jesse Budel

World Listening Day 2024: Escuchar el tejido del tiempo/ Listening to the wave of time

7/13/2024

 
Thursday, July 18 is World Listening Day! 
Escuchar el tejido del tiempo/ Listening to the wave of time

The 2024 World Listening Day theme was created by Chilean sound artists Valentina Villarroel Ambiado and Camila Cijka Arzola, who work as the art collective AOIR.

WLD 2024 Escuchar el tejido del tiempo/ Listening to the wave of time from World Listening Project on Vimeo.

The World Listening Day website, recently redesigned by Alex Braidwood, reflects the organization's dynamic new branding, also created by Braidwood, and can be viewed in a number of languages. 
New for 2024:  "Listener Accounts" + Event Registration System 
If you wish to have your World Listening Day activation officially listed, first create a Listener profile.  Once you have a profile, you can view other registrants and any social media links they have shared. 
Second, register, post, and promote your activities for World Listening Day 2024. An event will automatically appear on the public schedule when you register your "activation".  It is not too late!  Please create your listener account and register your event today. 
Students, amateurs, professional artists, and academics (maybe you are one or all of these!) are encouraged to participate in this free, global celebration of sound and listening. 
World Listening Day 2024 Global Schedule

All registered events are automatically displayed on the World Listening Day site here.  You do not need a listener account to see this public schedule. 

Thank You WFAE

The World Listening Project extends its gratitude to the WFAE, its affiliate networks and individual members, who have participated in World Listening Day since its inception in 2010.

Core ideas which have informed ways in which the World Listening Project now collaborates and its current direction were seeded at the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology's 30th Anniversary Conference in March, 2023 at the Atlantic Center for the Arts. Ideas on how we communicate and convene continued during a 3 day "World Listening Project" symposium sponsored by Iowa State University's Center for Excellence in Arts and the Humanities as part of its recognition of World Listening Project President and sound artist, Alex Braidwood, who is an Associate Professor of graphic design there. 

The World Listening Project's new, free program, Sessions on Listening, is a monthly, one-hour themed, but relatively open conversation held on Zoom. Curated by the board, and moderated by guests from around the globe. Please join us in August for the next episode and contact us if you would like to suggest a session and a time that works for you!
