RIVER LISTENING: SOUND + ENVIRONMENT 2017

River Listening is an interdisciplinary project that uses sound to explore the cultural and biological diversity of global river systems and monitor their health through noninvasive recording technologies. The 2017 installation at the Sound + Environment conference showcases soundscapes from rivers worldwide, combining acoustic ecology, science, and digital technology to inform freshwater conservation.

Soundwalk: “Aquí habita un río” (A river lives here)

This post explores the relationship between Panama City and its urban waterways through a multisensorial soundwalk along the six-kilometer Matasnillo River, the most polluted in the area. It offers an open letter reflecting on what the river reveals about the environment and human connection from its source to the ocean.

PAS – Sensitive Audio Course by a duo of headphones and ringing places

The duo Gilles and Benoit create immersive sound experiences by guiding participants through varied geographies using attentive listening and sonic exploration. Gilles acts as a "listening stroller," revealing local soundscapes, while Benoit engages with materials and sound objects to highlight the acoustic character of each place.

Hydrology features underwater recordings of diverse aquatic soundscapes from locations including Mexico’s Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, Norway’s Kvina River, and Queensland’s coastline. Created by Leah Barclay for the Earth Optimism Summit in Washington, DC, the work connects ecological sounds with the voices of water protectors and river communities worldwide.

​Hydrology explores the diverse sonic properties of aquatic ecosystems that cover over 70% of Earth’s surface. The sounds have been recorded using hydrophones (underwater microphones) in freshwater and marine ecosystems across the planet. The featured soundscapes include snapping shrimp on coastal reefs in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve of Mexico, melting ice in Norway’s Kvina River and Humpback Whales along the Queensland coastline. This piece also connects with the voices of water protectors and river communities across the world.

Hydrology in Washington, DC has been created for the Earth Optimism Summit, April 21-23. Earth Optimism celebrates a change in focus from problem to solution in the area of global conservation with an unprecedented gathering of thought leaders, scientists, environmentalists, artists, civic leaders and international media.
