Listening With…

… the neighbourhood – at dawn.

… an awareness that all around you are other life-forms simultaneously listening and sensing with you – plant roots, owls, cicadas, voles – mutually intertwined within the web of vibrations which animate and surround our planet.

World Soundscape Project

18 July is the birth date of renowned Canadian composer, music educator and author, R. Murray Schafer. His World Soundscape Project developed the fundamental ideas and practices of acoustic ecology in the 1970s. These inform the current, burgeoning interest in our changing acoustic environment. Thus, World Listening Day honours Schafer’s contribution to understanding our world.

NB: Children who can participate in listening for the full hour and a half are welcome. Silence encouraged.
