Locus Sonus is participating in the Around - Listening Places Festival in Hong-Kong. 

Locustream Audio Tardis : Designed as a listen-in event, a 2-hours sequence of available streams from the Locustream project will be played on the rooftop of a building downtown Hong-Kong (Foo Tak Building in Wan Shai Hong-Kong). The cyclical sequence will successively play the live streams for around 7 mn each. A simple video-image showing the name of the location and of the streamer will be be projected during each sequence.

On Wednesday the 29th of April, Jerome Joy will do a lecture on Locus Sonus projects at the Hong-Kong Academy for Performing Arts (7pm).

This series is initiated by the non-profit organization SoundPocket

Locus Sonus : Locustream Audio Tardis

A live journey through a worldwide network of open microphones :

A rapid, imaginary journey between various open mikes of the Locustream project, initiated by the Locus Sonus lab. All the sounds that you hear were 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 and automatically sequencing the sound diffusion of each available Locustream webmics, we propose an analogy to the actual listening experience which you can experience for yourself on the Locustream SoundMap if you chose to listen to the Locus Sonus streams on a daily basis. 

This series is initiated by the non-profit organization Synesthesie, http://cav.synesthesie.com/

Thanks to participate by opening as long as possible your stream along these weeks.

Tell us quickly what is possible to you in booting your stream sooner as possible this week (in order to test before the first upcoming event next Wednesday). We'll be glad to read you again and to keep alive once again our collaborations.

As usual we would be grateful for as much online presence as you can muster.
