Not having Disquieted for some time, and not being completely on board with the intention of the project after admittedly skimming various pages, I got all enthusiastic when I saw Bernie Krause’s name and realised the sonic lineage of the assembled creators.
I delved into my old “field recordings” folder (okay, me playing with a Tascam) and chose three or five, then cut them up, treated them and reprocessed them (according to whim and instinct) in Audacity using basic effects and plugins.
I still have no idea if this really fits the brief or not but it was fun.

The Assignment: Celebrate World Listening Day for the whole weekend.
Step 1: This weekend it’s World Listening Day, which occurs every year on July 18, which is the birthday of R. Murray Schafer, the composer and acoustic ecologist. This year, the theme for World Listening Day is “The Collective Field,” as proposed by Katherine Krause.
Step 2: Read about this theme, “The Collective Field,” at:
https://worldlisteningday.org/
Step 3: Make a piece of music for World Listening Day, inspired by the theme, or just in the spirit of the occasion.
