Thanks to all those who came out to the soundwalks today (July 18th) for World Listening Day. Steve Peters and I had a great time. I have uploaded a recording of one the soundwalks to Radio Aporee, an online sound map with recordings from all over the world.

In honor of the first World Listening Day, the Seattle Phonographers
Union invites the public to participate in a series of soundwalks on
Sunday, July 18th at Seattle's Green Lake from 10AM to 4PM. This event
is FREE to the public; all are welcome.
Throughout the day, SPU members will guide participants on silent walks
around the lake, focusing attention on the diversity and complexity of
the local soundscape.
Walks start near the boat house at the south end of Green Lake (5900
West Green Lake Way N, 98103), and will commence at 10 AM, Noon, 2 PM,
and 4 PM. Each walk will begin with a brief introduction to basic
principles of Acoustic Ecology and intentional listening, and will
conclude with an opportunity for participants to discuss their
experience.
World Listening Day celebrates the practice of intentional listening as
it relates to the world around us, environmental awareness, and
Acoustic Ecology. It is organized by the World Listening Project (WLP),
a not-for-profit organization devoted to understanding the world and
its natural environment, societies, and cultures through the practices
of listening and field recording.
