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
