Silence
I am reading R. Murray Schafer’s SOUNDSCAPE. A classic book, published first in 1977, still an excellent read. In parallel I stumbled over an advertisement in one of those journals for uebergeek-tekkies. The Sony noise cancellation headphones with integrated AI promise some rare luxury within these days. Silence. Artificial Silence. At a first glance a bit pricy, but for the sake of research I am really considering to buy them soon.
Sounds and Noises from Berlin
I am sorry that I still was not able to perform Urban Sync session in Berlin. But the good news is that there has been activities alike since a couple of years.
E.g the Berlincast.
Or the TunedCity project.
Enjoy!
Soundmap of Cologne
My local newspaper contained an article about people working hard on capturing soundscapes worldwide. The article had a focus on German activities. If you are interested in the Soundmap of Cologne you should check the great blog about the project including cc-licensed samples:
