BBC Save Our Sounds
July 6, 2009
There’s a new campaign launced this month by the BBC World Service that’s worth checking out if you’re in to soundscapes and environmental sounds, called ‘Save Our Sounds’.
The idea is to get people to upload their recorded sounds, particularly those that are potentially endangered, on to a global map, allowing other users to ‘journey through sound.’
Though the project is in its infancy, there are already some interesting sounds to be heard: from fish sellers in Luanda, Angola, to reindeer being round up in Kautokeino, northern Norway.
Two documentaries accompanying the project are being broadcast on 8th and 15th July (more information here.)
