The Disquiet Junto this week invites close listening to the landscape, through sharing recordings and participating in a communal soundscape:
Download field recordings by other Junto members. Play the downloaded tracks in one ear, leaving your other ear open to hear the sounds in your midst. As you listen to the stereo soundscapes, your hearing will be extended, situating you in acoustic environments that you’ll share with other participants.I've recorded the galahs that nest in a park at the end of my street.
Their chatter is a sound I associate with the town of Leeton and hearing them helps me recognise first light when I'm at home.
