THE SOUND OF INCLUSION is part of European Action Week!

Departing from the question ‘What might this place sound like?’, @Soundtrackcity and architects4future Berlin invite you to join us on a sound walk and subsequent workshop at and around Alexanderplatz in Berlin. Together with sound artists and the public, we aim to explore the interplay between architecture and urban sound, and to propose listening as a rich method to conceive and create sustainable and inclusive urban places.

Where & When?
Meeting point are the ruins of a former monastery at Klosterstraße 73a in Berlin Mitte. Sunday, September 13, 2026, 14:00 – 18:00. Language: English and German. Please register at https://tally.so/r/Y57xAd

To activate our sense of hearing, the event will start with a participatory sound performance by Berlin-based sound artist Max Joy, after which we will embark on a soundwalk around the area. The second part of the event will be a workshop at Haus der Statistik, located at the corner of Otto-Braun-Str. and Karl-Marx-Allee. Within this workshop participants will be able to craft subjective maps of their listening experiences. More at: https://soundtrackcity.nl/en/the-sound-of-inclusion/

THE SOUND OF INCLUSION is a collaborative effort of Soundtrackcity and Architects For Future Berlin and takes place in the context of European Action Week, organised by @architects4future

One of our radio.earth boxes is now streaming from the Wadden sea coast of Groningen on occasion of World Listening Day 2026. This is one of the rare wild places in an overcultivated country that is the Netherlands. How does it sound in this time of the year? Probably you’ll hear heavy wind and also a lot of birds foraging and vocalising. Listen via https://radio.aporee.org:8443/mobilemic23 #wld26 #radioearth #stream #acousticecology

Giornata Mondiale dell’Ascolto

La Giornata Mondiale dell’Ascolto è una di quelle ricorrenze che sembrano semplici, ma in realtà aprono universi: suoni, silenzi, rumori che raccontano storie, città che respirano, persone che si rivelano. È la festa delle orecchie, ma anche del cuore.

Dal 2010, grazie al World Listening Project, il 18 luglio è dedicato a celebrare l’arte dell’ascolto in tutte le sue forme: ambientale, sociale, emotiva. Ogni anno un tema diverso invita a riflettere sul nostro rapporto con il paesaggio sonoro che ci circonda.

🎧 2026: “Echoes of Tomorrow”

Quest’anno il tema è futuristico e poetico: “Echoes of Tomorrow”, un invito a immaginare come i suoni di oggi influenzeranno il mondo di domani. Che traccia sonora stiamo lasciando alle generazioni future? E cosa succede se impariamo ad ascoltare con più attenzione?

Le iniziative del 2026 sono un piccolo concerto globale:

• Milano inaugura la prima Sound Marathon: 12 ore di ascolti guidati tra parchi, tram, mercati e cortili nascosti.
• A Londra, eco‑artisti registrano “le voci delle piante” con sensori bioacustici.
• In Canada, nasce Ear to the Future, una mappa sonora mondiale costruita dalle registrazioni inviate dagli ascoltatori.
• In Giappone, alcune aziende introducono la “pausa di ascolto consapevole”: cinque minuti di silenzio prima delle riunioni. Pare funzioni meglio del caffè.

🔍 Ma perché esistono due date diverse?

Se hai notato che Perfettamente Chic ha già pubblicato un altro articolo sulla Giornata dell’Ascolto il 21 ottobre, non è un errore: esistono due celebrazioni distinte, spesso confuse tra loro.

Ecco la differenza:

• 18 luglio – World Listening Day È la giornata ufficiale del World Listening Project, dedicata al paesaggio sonoro, alla bioacustica, all’ascolto dell’ambiente e alla consapevolezza sonora globale.
• 21 ottobre – World Day of Listening È una ricorrenza più recente, nata da iniziative educative e sociali che promuovono l’ascolto empatico, il dialogo, la comunicazione consapevole e la capacità di “sentire davvero” le persone. Non riguarda i suoni del mondo, ma le relazioni umane.

In pratica:

🎧 luglio ascolta il mondo, 💬 ottobre ascolta le persone.

E sì, esistono anche altre micro‑iniziative locali dedicate all’ascolto (festival, soundwalk day, listening labs), ma le due date principali sono queste.

🎙️ Curiosità chic che arricchiscono la storia

• Il primo World Listening Day del 2010 coinvolse più di 50 città in simultanea.
• Nel 2017 furono registrate le famose “dune che cantano” in Australia.
• Nel 2021 si scoprì che alcune tartarughe marine comunicano con micro‑vibrazioni.
• Nel 2024 Parigi dedicò una mostra ai “suoni perduti” della storia.

🧘‍♀️ Come partecipare oggi

• Spegni tutto per un minuto e ascolta la tua casa: ha una sinfonia segreta.
• Fai una mini soundwalk nel quartiere.
• Registra un suono che ami e condividilo.
• Oppure… ascolta davvero qualcuno. È rivoluzionario.

Sonic Ecology: Automated Monitoring of Rainforest Biodiversity

How automated sound sensors are helping researchers monitor rainforest health and biodiversity by analyzing animal sounds in remote areas.

https://newsletter.tf/automated-monitoring-rainforest-biodiversity-sound/

Researchers are now using sound sensors to listen to rainforests. This new technology can analyze thousands of hours of animal sounds to understand the health of the forest.

My contribution to FLOW Projekt incl. a podcast is online! 🔥
I worked on Segment 19 of the River Lech, a concrete fish passage I found something unexpected: water striking artificial walls, producing a narrow resonance hovering between A and B-flat.
Granular and spectral synthesis, sine tones, and two slightly detuned accordion drones reorganise the recording into an evolving acoustic space.

After 13 years, early May is now forever associated with getting up early to stream the sounds of the morning.

We hosted a fascinating conversation with zoologist Arik Kershenbaum during last year’s Reveil weekend. A generous deep dive into animal communication, from wolf howls to whale song:

Planetary communication: Listening to animals in the Second Space Age | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50d1YzESFOo #AnimalCommunication #AcousticEcology #Birds

the idea that sound, too, can be divided into the traced and the untraced. perhaps the real disturbance is not inaudibility, but untraceability.

during those walks i made piezoelectric recordings, listening through contact rather than air. i lost them.

so, how do these imagined sounds interweave? which ones approach from the water, which cling to stone? what stays near, what recedes, what circulates without source? how is distance perceived when sound detaches from action?
these images sit in that gap: sound not heard, only imagined.

Also this:

a map you don’t read — you listen.
places unfolding through sound, memory, drift.

It reminds me of:
https://www.archivoustednoestaaqui.net/mapassonorosdelatinoamerica

I’m following both.
Slow listening, shared geographies.

If you’re into sound as territory,
maps without borders,
listening as a way of being —

Walking with a Shakuhachi Priest ⛩️

Last summer, I travelled to Nara, Japan, to meet Jonen, a Jodo Shu priest. We walked, we talked, and we listened.

This episode is a field recording—a soundwalk exploring the haunting sound of the shakuhachi. 🔹 The Japanese concept of "reading the air" (kuuki wo yomu). 🔹 Humility and presence in daily life.

J'ai côtoyé Pierre Mariétan sur différents projets franco-Suisses, via les RAME et d'autres actions; ses engagements, ses coups de gueule, ses enseignements, ses expérimentations, son enthousiasme. Un personnage écoutant emblématique qui disparait en laissant un vide dans le champ des paysages sonores. Un de plus hélas

I'm trying to collect last sounds of Asian Koel shouting over the Bangkok traffic before leaving the city. I still have the New Yorker documentary about Bernie Krause and his recordings of dissapearing biophony in my head. I think about all these urban birds who may be nature's last voice. #fieldrecording #biophony #acousticecology

Si l'action culturelle, le geste artistique, ne sont pas des engagements physiques, des posture situées, des expériences de terrain, des lieux de rencontres, je ne vois pas comment ils et elles pourraient défendre une cause sociétale telle que l'écologie. Dans cette perspective, l'écoute est une action qui peut et doit nous maintenir connectés, interrogés, acteurs et actrices impliqués.

@jredlund @ErickaSimone Recording technology did serve up automation opportunities for artists and changed music distribution fundamentally. A bigger effect was listening to audio events that are not physically present, or, as coined by Hildi Westerkamp, schizophonia.

Schizophonic listening changes a lot of things in a subtle way. Some of the more obvious effects are losing touch with the soundscape you are actually in, of course, and in our relationship with performance and improvisation. It's an interesting deep dive and part of #AcousticEcology studies.

(And now that the washing machine is done, time to put on an Isely Brothers album.)
