[locustream] CFP reminder: Koli soundscape conference
by Eric Leonardson 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

IDEOLOGIES AND ETHICS IN THE USES AND ABUSES OF SOUND Koli, Finland, June 16-19, 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS (reminder: abstracts by October 12) The 2010 WFAE conference will be held at Koli in Eastern Finland. Koli is a plausible site for reflecting upon ideologies, ethics and soundscapes, since it was amongst the key places of the national romantic artist pilgrims in the late 19th century Finland. The main organisers, Department of Finnish Language and Cultural Research at the University of Joensuu, Finland and The Finnish Society for Acoustic Ecology (FSAE) invite researchers and artists from all disciplines to join this forum of discussion. Confirmed invited and keynote speakers are (in alphabetical order): Steven Feld, Charles Hirschkind, Bruce Johnson, Anahid Kassabian, Andra McCartney, R. Murray Schafer, Barry Truax and Hildegard Westerkamp. More information at: http://www.joensuu.fi/soundscapes Proposals are invited for papers, workshops, roundtable, or artistic contributions relating to, but not limited to the following topics: NATIONS, NATIONALISM AND SOUNDSCAPE There has been an abundance of research on the topic of nationalism and music. What about nationalism and soundscape? Within sound of religious movements Martin Stokes mentioned recently that in order to understand certain Islamic movements today it would be crucial to understand their soundscapes. Collective listening or giving ?voices? to subjects and their religious experiences, are some examples. CONSTRUCTING PAST AND PROGRESS IN THE USES AND ABUSES OF SOUND Both past and progress can be used and abused as part of many ideologies. Have past soundscapes been used as a resource as part of these negotiations? The ideology of progress, then, is intimately related to the acceptance of noise as an inevitable phenomenon. ETHICAL CHALLENGES OF WORKING WITH THE SOUNDS How do soundscape researchers and artists answer to the ethical challenges of working with the sounds of other people ? and of themselves. How do we understand cultural convergences, differences and sameness? Or would it just be more important to learn to tolerate the other? Should the researcher or artist make an intervention -- or would it be best just to observe the uses and abuses of sounds from outside? THE COMMODIFICATION OF AURAL SPACE, SOUND AND SILENCE How does silence, its commodification and tourism fit under the same sky? What kind of strategies can the citizens and planners develop in different localities in order to guarantee the soundscape comfort, tourism as a means of livelihood and the touristic search of silence all at the same time? What about the urban environment with its ubiquitous transphonic phenomena? Who has the right to fill the urban space with music, and how is it currently happening? Please send ABSTRACTS (max. 400 words) by October 12, 2009 to the conference e-mail address koli(a)akueko.com. The abstracts are being dealt with in early November, and the people whose papers and sonic art works are chosen to be presented will be notified on November 10. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eric Leonardson E-mail: eric(a)ericleonardson.org <mailto:eric@ericleonardson.org> Homepage: http://ericleonardson.org/whatsnew/ World Listening Project: http://www.worldlisteningproject.org <http://www.worldlisteningproject.org/> Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology: http://mwsae.org <http://mwsae.org/> Delicious: http://delicious.com/eleon Twitter: http://twitter.com/eleona Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/ericleonardson Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eleonardson/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/ericleonardson Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/eric.leonardson mobile: 773-218-5796 skype: worldlistening

[locustream] placement for the web mic in Fall & Winter
by Eric Leonardson 18 Oct '09

18 Oct '09

Since many of us are in the northern hemisphere and it's beginning to get quite cold. I can't have my streambox outside because the opened window, even if it's tiny crack, lets too much cold air into the house. If you are in the same situation, I wonder, how have you placed your Locustream mic to pick up outdoor sounds without having the window open and freezing inside? I am hesitant to drill a special hole through the wall in the room where the streambox box is located. I haven't yet found the time to install an extra long network cable from the router through the wall, leading it to a place where the cable can pass to the exterior of the house. Being outside also means that exposure to extreme cold, water and ice, and dust could have a negative effect on the operation of the streambox. I suppose this will be a part of the experiment.

[locustream] World Listening Project - Chicago Calling Fest today
by Eric Leonardson 10 Oct '09

10 Oct '09

Around 2:30 p.m. today I will be giving a presentation about the World Listening Project in the 4th Annual Chicago Calling Festival. I plan to talk a little about the Locustream Soundmap. I won't have an Internet connection or video display, but I may play some recorded examples from the map, or a part of my interview with Jerome Joy that I featured in the August Giant Ear))) show.

[locustream] baltimore

Jerome The laptop that was to serve my stream failed. I now have a second borrowed Mac, which I need to reconnect to the LAN of my university. Would you be kind enough to point me to the OSX streaming client again? As soon as I am connected to ethernet I will download it, and with luck will get this node back up. Thank you Tim

[locustream] inactive stream in Chicago misplaced on map
by Eric Leonardson 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Hello, I wonder, could the owner/administrator of the Locustream named "chicago_northside" correct either their location or stream name to more accurately reflect where it actually is placed, please? Currently it is located in Chicago's downtown, loop area, not on the "North side". As Jerome mentioned, you can type your address in, in the admin page. Or, to be more accurate, find your longitude and latitude and enter that just below the address box.
