BIOSPHERE SOUNDSCAPES COMMUNITY

BIOSPHERE SOUNDSCAPES COMMUNITY

The Biosphere Soundscapes virtual platform, developed in collaboration with the Australian cultural development agency Feral Arts, is built with three fundamental systems in mind, supporting our artistic residency programs, scientific labs and international masterclasses. 

The first two systems are curated online platforms, while the accessibility of the Biosphere Soundscapes community provides real-time interaction and engagement for anyone with access to an internet-enabled device. The three systems combine in the Biosphere Soundscapes map, which is a constantly evolving interface that will draw attention to the changing conditions of the sonic environment in each given location. 

In the future, the digital platforms will enable a biosphere-networked performance, live streaming tools, the ability to mix soundscapes in real time, and the ability to compare climates and environmental changes. This will also provide access to soundscapes currently at risk, allowing virtual collaborators opportunities to explore the sounds of central Australia, the Amazon jungle or Kenya’s Mount Elgon, all within an accessible interface. The virtual interface has the capacity to live stream hydrophones from the floor of the ocean with musicians live in New York City, bringing the sights and sounds of the nature world to urban environments to inspire climate action.  

As the project develops, the Biosphere Soundscapes Community will be an accessible platform for anyone to generate content, download educational resources and engage in the global possibilities of the project. While our community structure and interactivity is still under development, anyone is welcome to join the community and upload content.  

Biosphere Soundscapes is an interdisciplinary research project working in collaboration with multiple organisations and institutions across the USA, South America, Australia, Europe, India, Indonesia and Cambodia. The project was endorsed by the UNESCO MAB Program in 2013 and is currently based at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. 
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we are conducting this research and pay our respect to the Elders, past, present, and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
