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.

Die erste Runde "Sound Walk - Bird Talk | Bird Walk - Sound Talk" ist durch.

Nur der private Rave am anderen Elbufer war manchmal eine akustische Herausforderung.

Es war toll und hat viel Spaß gemacht.
Alle Teilnehmenden waren super aufmerksam und es wurde viel gehört.
Der Austausch hat gleich Lust auf mehr gemacht.

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.

Letztes Wochenende hatten wir endlich mal wieder ein kleines Workshopwochenende mit unserem Projekt https://landschafftsound.org in Maxen.
Diesmal ging es um #soundwalk, #listening, #fieldrecording und einen Austausch von Erfahrung und Projekten. War super spannend und hat wieder Lust auf mehr gemacht.
Danke an Lena Löhr (https://lenaloehr.de/), Grit Ruhland (https://folgelandschaft.org/), Carlina Rossee und Udo Noll (https://aporee.org/).

Mettre l'écoute en scène, c'est à la fois développer une part de rêve et de pensée critique.

Soundwalk - an hour on the Cambridge Road Estate (2020-09-12) - Listening to the sounds of the estate near 16WW, pre-recorded talks, and detecting bats. #podcast #soundscape #soundwalk - https://m.earth.org.uk/soundwalk-20200912.html

“The music of SOUNDWALK was created, compositionally, to never have a specific beginning, middle, or end. Depending on where you entered an installation, you would step into a different part of the composition. The music had to work like a sphere or something where no matter how you turned, it was complete.” - Ellen Reid

Check out our conversation with Pulitzer Prize winning composer Ellen Reid. We discuss her new album, ‘Big Magestic,’ which grew off of her fascinating SOUNDWALK project - a free, GPS-enabled work of public art that uses music to illuminate the natural environment. The record features Shabaka Hutchings, Kronos Quartet, Riley Muleherkar, and more. It is out now on New Amsterdam Records/Eclipse Projects.

They would welcome any feedback and for those in Tehran

Around this time last year, the Center for Deep Listening launched A Year of Deep Listening, a call for Deep Listening scores in homage to Pauline Oliveros. I decided to take part, and eventually sent in not one, but ten scores - and then I just kept writing more. (Rather predictably in my case, all of them turned out to be soundwalking scores). I was also very pleased when one of them - Ariadne Soundwalk - was selected for A Year of Deep Listening.

@sjurdur Nú lurtaði eg eftir parti 2 og 3, og teir vóru ikki verri.

Hevði tú hoyrt hasa søguna í parti 2 um onglendingin og skúgvin?

Hann hevði fingið rættiliga nógv við - eisini sovorðið, sum eg ikki hevði hoyrt fyrr - og man fekk hug at lesa ferðafrásagnirnar hjá Elizabeth Taylor.
