Project.
The goals of the World Listening Project are to collect field
recordings
from every country on earth, to create a sonic map of the world,
and to
archive those recordings on a website. Many of the recordings for WLP
have already been recorded, but many more will be recorded and archived.
The WLP website is a work in progress, and it will be part of the Third
Annual Chicago Calling Arts Festival (October 1-12, 2008). It will
continue to be developed into the future.
Anyone interested in
participating in the WLP can email me directly. A
WLP listserv has begun and
we invite interested persons to join:
