[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] World Listening Day, July 18
by Eric Leonardson 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Dear Locustreamers, I'd like to inform you of World Listening Project's effort to hold the first World Listening Day on July 18, 2010 (R. Murray Schafer's birthday). Dan Godston is the main organizer for World Listening Day. I've attached a Word file about the event. Dan can answer specific questions. I have attached a pdf explaining the purpose of the event and how you may get involved. (Hopefully the lisserv allows attachements.) World Listening Day is open to a variety of actions and interpretations. Happily, we have a growing list of interesting people who are participating. Finally, I'd like to emphasize that we have no one in Africa participating yet. Perhaps KRN in Dakar and Emeeka in Lagos can do something foe World Listening Day. What do you think?

We could benefit of the Locustream Promenade's show for commenting the various streams ? http://locus.creacast.com:9001/nice_mouans.ogg Sonic ambience of a village's quare in South of France. Everyday life with a lot of sound animation : a kind of circus. Voices, chlidren, cafe's discussions, neighbours' "cryers" and conversations, cars (with music pulsations), little trucks and motocycles, bells, and each first wednesday of each month the siren (bombers), cicadas, flocks of birds, and sometimes sheeps and goats (the last village's shepherd), village's fountain... Set-up : I just modify my setup for the Promenade in Marseilles because my former microphone died. Electrostatic mic, mixtable, streambox sound level = 1, without filterings) jerome

[locustream] World Listening Day Locustream participation
by Eric Leonardson 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Dear Friends, This is a reminder that we Locus Sonus streamers are participating in World Listening Day, on Sunday July 18th. It will be great if you can activate your web-mics on this day, please. Below is a description of World Listening Day, with a list of participants. Please free to pass on the information. The World Listening Project website is at http://www.worldlisteningproject.org. The purposes of World Listening Day are: · to celebrate the practice of listening as it relates to the world around us, environmental awareness, and acoustic ecology; · to raise awareness about issues related to the World Soundscape Project <http://www.sfu.ca/%7Etruax/wsp.html>, World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, World Listening Project, and individual and group efforts to creatively explore phonography; · and to design and implement educational initiatives which explore these concepts and practices. World Listening Day is being organized by the World Listening Project <http://www.worldlisteningproject.org/> (WLP), in partnership with the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology <http://mwsae.org/> (MSAE). July 18 was chosen as the date for World Listening Day because it is the birthday of the Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer <http://www.philmultic.com/composers/schafer.html>, who is one of the founders of the Acoustic Ecology movement. The World Soundscape Project, which Schafer directed, is an important organization that built the foundations of this field. His book /The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World /helped to define many of the terms and background behind the acoustic ecology movement. WLP and MSAE invite you to participate in World Listening Day. Here are several possibilities--- · You can organize a soundwalk or a listening party when people play field recordings. · You can organize a performance event that involves field recordings and other artistic expressions that explore our soundscape and how we can listen to our sonic environment. · You can participate in a private / solitary way, by paying attention to your soundscape. · You can facilitate an educational event that relates to acoustic ecology, field recordings, or a similar topic. · You can contact organizations that are participating in World Listening Day, to see if you can get involved that way. If you would like to participate in World Listening Day, please email worldlistening(a)gmail.com <mailto:worldlistening@gmail.com>, and be sure to include World Listening Day in the subject line.

So we made this animated map which shows the location of all the streams and indicates those which are currently active with a blinking light. By clicking on a chosen location one can directly listen to the OGG Vorbis stream in a browser. Community of streamers. Another interesting development arising from the fact that we are involving other people to set up the microphones is that we have found ourselves with a network of people - artists, musicians and researchers, who are inherently interested by networked audio. This has led to use of the streams for art forms, outside of the lab itself (SARC in Belfast, Cedric Maridet in Hong-Kong, etc.). Much of our research concerns the emergence of listening practices which are based on the permanence, the non spectacular or non event based quality of the streams. We have found ourselves creating a sort of variation on Cageian (as in John Cage) listening, importing a remote acoustic environment in a way which can be chosen by the user, creates a renewed concentration on the local environment itself. This has led us to reflect on a form which adopts a permanent or semi permanent situation to present the streams publicly, and which involves a relationship between the local and the remote environment. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Locustream Audio Tardis presentation : http://locusonus.org/tardis/ Locustream Audio Tardis is an imaginary journey between various open mikes of the Locustream project, initiated by the Locus Sonus lab. All the sounds that are heard are 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 the audience hear the cyclical sequence which are successively played for around 7 to 10 mn each. A simple video-image showing the name of the location and of the streamer is projected during each sequence. Locus Sonus http://locusonus.org/ Locus Sonus is a research group specialized in audio art. It is organized as a post graduate lab by the Art Schools of Aix en Provence (ESAA) and Nice (ENSA Villa Arson) in the south of France. We have a partnership with sociology lab CNRS, LAMES Aix en Provence (who are interested by the way that practices related to new technologies are creating modifications in artistic production and the way that the public responds to these modifications), and we currently continue collaborations with the CRESSON, architecture lab CNRS in Grenoble (sonic spaces research centre), the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), and other international partners. Locus Sonus is concerned with the innovative and transdisciplinary nature of audio art forms, in the framework of networked sonic spaces, some of which are experimented and evaluated in a lab type context. An important factor is with the collective or multi-user aspects inherent to many emerging audio practices and which necessitate working as a group. Two main thematic define this research - audio in it's relation to space and networked audio systems. Today our research is grouped under two main headings Field Spatialization and Networked Sonic Spaces. Locus Sonus Lab 2007/2010 : Julien Clauss, Alejandro Duque, Scott Fitzgerald, Jérôme Joy, Anne Roquigny, Peter Sinclair. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ All the best, Eric -- Eric Leonardson E-mail: eric(a)ericleonardson.org <mailto:eric@ericleonardson.org> Homepage: ericleonardson.org/whatsnew/ <http://ericleonardson.org/whatsnew/> Plasticene: plasticene.blogspot.com/ <http://plasticene.blogspot.com/> Auris: www.myspace.com/auristrio <http://www.myspace.com/auristrio> World Listening Project: www.worldlisteningproject.org <http://www.worldlisteningproject.org/> Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology: mwsae.org <http://mwsae.org/> Chicago Phonography: www.chicagophonography.org <http://www.chicagophonography.org> Delicious: delicious.com/eleon <http://delicious.com/eleon> Twitter: twitter.com/eleona <http://twitter.com/eleona> Myspace: www.myspace.com/ericleonardson <http://www.myspace.com/ericleonardson> Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/eleonardson/ <http://www.flickr.com/photos/eleonardson/> YouTube: www.youtube.com/ericleonardson <http://www.youtube.com/ericleonardson> Facebook: www.facebook.com/eric.leonardson <http://www.facebook.com/eric.leonardson> Locus Sonus Audio Streaming Project Map <http://locusonus.org/soundmap/>, "chicago - westside" AudioBoo <http://audioboo.fm/users/18347/boos> mobile: 773-218-5796 skype: worldlistening

Here is the final announcement. Sorry for stuttering... You can find the QR code within the message below... (english below) ________________________________________________________________________ __ (FRANCAIS) Locustream Promenade (Installation sonore) Festival MIMI (Ile du Frioul, Marseille) 1-14 Juillet http://mimi2010.amicentre.biz/wordpress/ Locustream Promenade est une installation / dispositif d'écoute comprenant la dissémination de 10 « douches sonores » dans l'espace public. Ce projet repose sur le système évolutif de "microphones ouverts" placés dans le monde entier et qui envoient, chacun, en permanence et en direct un flux sonore par «streaming » (émis et relayé sur le réseau Internet). Ces paysages sonores transmis à distance sont écoutés en temps réel sur le dispositif lorsque l'auditeur/spectateur se place sous chaque parabole. L'installation permet une autre écoute et conscience de son environnement sonore. Cette perception par l'écoute est à la fois discrète et singulière, dans le sens où peuvent se cristalliser tout au long de la présentation de l'installation, des pratiques individuelles et partagées d'auditeur. La Promenade est installée au dessus d'un petit sentier entre les falaises et un chantier naval. Les streams se mélangent avec les bruits du front de mer. Les visiteurs peuvent consulter une page web, automatiquement mise à jour, qui indiquent la provenance de chaque stream. Il suffit de scanner un code QR à l'entrée de l'installation avec un téléphone mobile. Cette page web donne accès aux informations qui figurent sur le locustream soundmap.

Locus Sonus experiments and evaluates the innovative and transdisciplinary nature of audio art forms in a lab-type context. Locus Sonus is also concerned with the communal, collective or multi-user aspects inherent to many emerging audio practices, which involve working as a group.This research concentrates on two main themes - sound in relation to space and network audio systems. The "Lab" proposes a process combining practical artistic experiment and critical evaluation within a group context. http://locusonus.org/ ______________________
