World Listening Day 2011 (Cavite PH)

We participated in World Listening Day 2011 (Cavite PH) last Sunday at Balite Falls, Amadeo, Cavite! It was an intimate gathering to celebrate listening and field recordings. The celebration in Cavite, Philippines was a response to the open invitation by World Listening Project (WLP) and Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology (MSAE).

Thanks to Erick Calilan (E.X.I.S.T.), program head of the event. Thanks also to Sir Bokeng (Balite Falls), E.X.I.S.T., Espasyo Siningdikato, Gerard Natividad, Samuel André, Tengal, Kreame Isaac, Eric Diolola, Gentle Universe, Cosmopolitan Smoke Stabs (Cosmoss), Stanley Castelo, Rej Fabi, Valerie Faye Bautista, Jonie Ayson, Arth Ayson, Kyril Dx and all those who supported and celebrated the event!

The first World Listening Day was co-organized by the WLP and MSAE. July 18 was chosen as the date for World Listening Day because it is the birthday of Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer, who established the World Soundscape Project in the late-60s at Simon Fraser University. Schafer’s 1977 book, The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World was a culminating publication about the research of the WSP that provided a foundation for the interdisciplinary field now known as Acoustic Ecology.

Happy World Listening Day!
