AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

World Listening Project

The World Listening Project began last week.

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:
