The Borderbend Arts Collective is inviting artists to participate in “Three to Seven for World Listening Day.” Here are the guidelines: 
  • Pick three to seven field recordings. Those field recordings could have been recorded in one location or in different locations (such as different continents). 
  • Create an artwork that uses those 3-7 field recordings in some way. The artistic contribution could be a piece of writing (poem, short story, prose poem, or other literary form), visual art (painting, collage, etc.) or a work in another art form.  
  • Send your artwork, with links to those three to seven field recordings, to Borderbend via email. Submissions should be sent by July 31, 2012. 

Contributions will appear at http://www.borderbend.org/3-to-7-for-world-listening-day.html. 


World Listening Day
World Listening Day happens annually on July 18th—the birthdate of R. Murray Schafer, a Canadian composer who established the World Soundscape Project. Its research laid the foundations for what became known as Soundscape Studies and Acoustic Ecology. 

The purposes of World Listening Day are:
  • to celebrate different ways we can focus on our soundscape (sonic environment); 
  • to raise awareness about the acoustic ecology movement, including ideas regarding how noise pollution can be reduced; and
  • to introduce new educational initiatives and community events related to listening and acoustic ecology.

Participation in the 2012 World Listening Day focuses on the aforementioned goals, which could include listening parties, listening to one’s soundscape in private, private or public soundwalks, public forums about acoustic ecology, and more.
