Listening to Brighton (World Listening Day 2021)

July 18, 2021

Free

To celebrate World Listening Day 2021, we are hosting an event for local listening in Brighton. We are encouraging anyone interested to dedicate up to half an hour of their time to listen to their surroundings in a location of their choosing across the city of Brighton & Hove, any time between midday and midnight (GMT) on Sunday July 18th. Any and all locations are valid; urban, suburban and rural and no technology is necessary to participate, just find a location and listen to the soundscape around you. We encourage you to pay attention to the types of sounds that are perceived. Perhaps consider the relationships between the different categories of soundscape outlined by pioneering bio-acoustician and soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause: anthropophony (human generated sound from either humans or man-made technologies); biophony (the collective sound of vocalising animals in a given environment); geophony (naturally occurring non-biological sounds and natural forces, such as water, wind, and thunder).

World Listening Day takes place every July 18 to honour the birthday of Canadian composer and environmentalist R. Murray Schafer, often credited as the founder of acoustic ecology. Born on July 18 1933, he developed his World Soundscape Project, which laid the fundamental ideas and practices of acoustic ecology in the 1970s. The theme for World Listening Day 2021 is The Unquiet Earth, created by Lisbon-based filmmaker, curator, and organiser Raquel Castro.
