Hi Patrick

This sounds great - thanks - a nice mix of birdsong, occasional traffic, a little wind and some constant sound that may be an air conditioning unit?

In this situation, where there is a stable and very nice stream already, I  would have thought an approach would be to mirror it to the locus sonus site. 

Does somebody know if that's feasible?

Hi:

I have been on this list for about three years, but have yet to actually get a stream on the map working. I have been running a personal stream in AACPlus stereo for about 3.5 years on and off, using an old HP E-Vectra running Windows XP, using a pair of Behringer XM8500 dynamic microphones and a Yamaha MG102C with some compression in-line, which seems to work great. If I could use something like a raspberry pi to get audio from another output on the board, I'm all for that. I am an audio guy first, and am not so knowledgeable when it comes to implementing this kind of thing properly, but I'd be all about getting something running here, as I already have the infrastructure in place to at least make sure my audio is clean.

Just in case anyone is curious what my current setup sounds like, here's a link to my stream as it stands.
Note that I am using cardioid dynamic microphones, which really shouldn't be used for this kind of thing, but they are robust, and have withstood the elements quite well.

Hello all

Following discussions with Jerome, Peter, Gregoire et al at locus sonus, can I draw your attention to this initiative for a 24 hour daybreak broadcast to run from around dawn London time on SAT 3 to SUN 4 MAY 2014. 

REVEIL will sample from live streams moving West as the sun rises in a continuous loop lasting one earth day. It will be available as a live broadcast, an installation and online.

We hope locus sonus will be the core of the project and REVEIL will be a chance to strengthen the network.

At the moment the open mic network is quite sparse and fragile: few mics are open of all the ones on the map. I sometimes have trouble keeping my own mic at camberwell open, so I'm familiar with some of the issues. 

Some of those are likely to be resolved by the new Raspberry Pi streamers which Gregoire has up and working. They have the potential to be an affordable reliable successor to the Streamboxes for a new generation of streams. 

At CRISAP in London we are planning a workshop to get people started building Raspberry Pi streamkits. It would be good to hear from people interested in that - which could also be expanded out to other places

Secondly: maybe we could have a discussion about what people would need to get their streams up and running both towards the event but more generally on a permanent basis

Then we could look at what kinds of support I / we can provide around that

Any thoughts welcome

Thanks
