Empremtes sonores / Huellas sonoras
A sound map for Sant Bartomeu del Grau, Barcelona, ES
Pablo Sanz, Jul-Aug 2011 – Inland-Campo Adentro residency program
The project consisted in a phonographic exploration of the soundscape of this rural environment, attempting to identify and collect its most singular and representative elements and to discover what remains unheard as well. The aim is to stimulate a more attentive listening and promote awareness towards this intangible heritage as an integral part of the experience of a territory. [...]

City of Tallinn
This project involves the research and production of a guide to the city of Tallinn from an auditory perspective. Working as an interdisciplinary group (Anthropologists, Architects, Urbanists, Artists), the initial phase involves researching the sonic qualities of the urban environment including its spaces, flows, characteristics and cultural life. We will be asking if a city has its own sound and if so, what defines this sound and how does this shape its identity?
The “Sound Map of Tallinn” is being conducted in the frame of Tuned City Tallinn 2011. For more information please visit the project page!

台灣聲音地圖計劃 Taiwan SoundMap Project
Sound and Taiwan ： http://www.soundandtaiwan.com
Sound has a hidden latent strength of flow, it activates space and events, and forms an essential part of a personal inner life of emotions, and the world of thinking and consciousness of the basic components.
Taiwan sound map project was officially started in December 2011, is expected to last seven years, and gradually document the environmental sounds recorded in Taiwan. The first year program took northern Taiwan as the main recording area, but also other areas in recent years, finishing the recordings. 2014 recording moves to eastern Taiwan and the outlying islands. We hope through this itinerary to highlight the highly developed city state and the ground level voice sounds of remote towns as a contrast.

Sounds From Dangerous Places, Peter Cusack
“Sounds From Dangerous Places” asks the questions, “What elements of the soundscape of a dangerous place are effected, changed, created or destroyed as a result of its ‘dangerousness’? and, “What insights can sound offer into the environmental, social and political contexts of a ‘dangerous place’?” The project presents the field recordings as they are, in the belief that such recordings offer insights into the locations and issues that are different from, and complimentary to, those of visual images and texts. Supplementary questions are “What information about place can field recordings give that is special to sound?” and conversely, “What information is given by the other media that sound cannot?”

Montréal Sound Map Installation at Espace recherche
1450 rue Guy (John Molson School of Business @ Concordia University)
Think Box (Suspended Box, MB 2.130)
Friday, May 28th @ 9:30am – 6:00pm, as part of Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences 2010:

The Montréal Sound Map is an interactive database of sound recordings from all over Montréal. The map is both archival (the sound environment is always changing) and encourages open ears to the interesting sounds all around us.
The recordings are placed into a browsable tagging system organized by source and sonic properties and separated into categories including human, natural, mechanical, societal, music, and noise.
The presentation at Espace recherche is an ongoing installation in which users can browse these tags, creating sound collages/orchestrations from the 200 sounds on the map. As sounds are triggered, their locations are projected in real-time on a map, allowing the viewer to draw connections between place and what is heard. Sounds will be projected in four channels.
