Rather belatedly, I just came across an interesting event. Last March 26th, at th Loos Studios in the Hague, there was a presentation of two soundmapping project: MadridSoundscape.org and Soinumapa.net (Arteleku, San Sebastián).

Here’s the programme:

madridSoundscape + Soinumapa

SOINUMAPA and MADRIDSOUNSDSCAPE are two platforms devoted to phonography and the appreciation of the acoustic dimension of our experience. Both work as online sound maps where anybody can participate uploading their own field recordings, which are located in a map and shared

publicly.

Soinumapa was created in 2005 by Luz María Sanchez with the support of Arteleku´s Audiolab and since then, the project has evolved and continues growing. It has been present in different contexts in Spain and also internationally, such as in Tuned City in Berlin.

Madridsoundscape is a younger project, born in 2008 following a collaboration between the Association CRC, La Casa Encendida and Escoitar.org. The project is currently maintained by Manuel Calurano.

This is the first time that both soundmaps make a joint presentation, which will consist in a concert based on field recordings from the two regions.

Come and listen!
