>"MILLENNIUM URBAN
>SOUNDSCAPE PROJECT"
>A global sonic event curated by Chris Meloche
>
>The "Millennium Urban Soundscape Project" is
>designed to form a sonic time-capsule of city life at the
>end of the Twentieth Century. It is during the last
>century of this millennium that the greatest growth of
>urban centers has taken place. For example, if one were
>to have stood at the main intersection of their city in
>1899, the sounds that they would have heard would
>have been totally different than those that occur today.
>The sounds of dirt roads and horse hooves have been
>replaced with the sounds of modern car tires on asphalt.
>
>Project purpose: To create a sonic snapshot of city
>sounds at the end of the Twentieth Century.
>
>Call for submissions: I am presently seeking
>contributions of urban sonic soundscapes from persons
>around the globe. Submissions should be no longer
>than 2 minutes in length. Recordings should consist
>of raw, unprocessed urban environmental sounds
>which the recordist finds interesting (sonic
>sanctuaries to aural blights - street sounds, malls,
>train stations, subways, zoos, parks, offices, markets
>etc... outside, inside... wherever). A brief description
>of the tape (i.e. location and why it is of particular
>interest) should be included. The recordist can submit
>up to 2 different audio clips. Submission media can be
>DAT, cassette or CD-R. In keeping with the spirit of
>documenting the end of the Twentieth Century, tapes
>should consist of sounds recorded during the 1990s.
>Sounds do not have to come from the city where the
>contributor resides but, can be collected from their
>travels.
>
>Project diffusion: The final edited work (approximately
>3 hours in duration) will be diffused in two
>manners. The complete work will be locally broadcast
>over the facilities of CHRW-FM (London, Ontario,
>Canada) as well as globally via their RealAudio
>Internet feed at the end of October 1999. Coinciding
>with this event will be a Web site which will document
>the soundscapes and contributors included in the MUSP.
>Note: All contributions will be used solely for non-
>commercial purposes.
>
>Submission deadline: August 31, 1999.
