Here's a report on yesterday's protest.

First of all, I'm happy to say it did take place as the Gropius in Chicago Coalition's website had announced. The GCC's founder, Grahm Balkany thought the protest was a success. He estimated about twenty people came out. (I was the lone MSAE/WLP member participating. I wore by my-ear binaural mics and recorded most of the event on a Yamaha Pocketrack G2 that I have on loan from a friend.)

On my arrival I met the GCC supporters outside in the Daley Plaza, which was almost completely occupied by the outdoor Christmas market stalls. After a short time more people joined us and we all crossed Clark Street to enter the Cook County office building, at 118 N Clark, where the City's Aldermanic offices, the Mayor's office, their Press Office, and the Zoning Commission are all housed. We spent a full hour going from office to office. Grahm spoke to the zoning commissioner and handed him an information packet. He spoke to a representative for the Aldermen's office and a representative of Mayor Daley. The latter promised she'd have Daley see the information packet. It was hard to judge her sincerity but I do believe Grahm made a convincing case.

Serendipity provided a taped TV interview of Grahm and other GCC members by WTTW's "Chicago Tonight" correspondent Rick Samuels. (We don't know if it will be broadcast.)

The protest concluded with a visit to the Chicago Landmarks Commission, at 33 N LaSalle, where Grahm delivered the information packets. We were told that Brian Goeken and other commissioners were facing with a 2 o'clock deadline to send out a report, so all Grahm could do was hand over the GCC's info packets and explain their importance to the receptionist. All of us signed in and out on the office's list.

Here is a link to the printer friendly version of the GCC's report on the Commission's hearing in which they rejected landmark status for the Michael Reese Hospital campus: http://tinyurl.com/yfpcu54

To receive breaking news and to find out what you can do to help save Chicago's architectural legacy please check the GCC web page, and their Twitter and Facebook profiles. As one GCC supporter put it, "we have to stop the 'archi-cide'."

All the best,
Eric

Sadly, the only public mention of the protest I can find is on the GCC website, no follow-up mention on their FB or Twitter...wondering now if it's going to be just me and the pigeons out there.

Hi Dan

Soundscape - The Journal of Acoustic Ecology, Vol. put out a double issue in Winter 2002/Spring 2003 (Vol 3 Number 2/Vol 4 Number 1) with the topic Ocean Acoustics, Underwater Listening. You can find it online and download it: http://www.wfae.net

click on: journal

and look for the above mentioned issue.

The article by Michael Stoker in particular addresses issues of noise in the marine environment.

Subject: Acoustic Mirror of the World, new developments

eleonardson

Offline

I regret to announce that due to circumstances beyond our control the Acoustic Mirror of the World, along with all the Synesthetic Plan of Chicago modules, have to be removed from the Little Black Pearl by the end of this week. We had expected our installation would be able to run there for many months while the WLP held classes on sound and listening practices at the LBP.

While this is unfortunate setback, I do think we can find a new public site for the AMW. In the interim we have the opportunity make some improvements on its design in a more thorough way. (Perhaps you can suggest a suitable venue that would be happy to host its presence.)

I can make some time this week to drive down and pick up the AMW along with the WLP module. I will also pick up Brett Balogh’s and Laura Goldstein’ modules while I’m there. Can anyone help me?

Since Greg O’Drobinak spearheaded the engineering of the AMW, I hoping he’ll keep the installation at his home/workshop in the interim.

The Little Black Pearl is open until 6:00 p.m. on weekdays. Address: 1060 E. 47th Street, on the northwest corner of Greenwood.

So, if you have been planning to send us an audio submission, please don't hestitate: the invitation still stands. I'll keep receiving them via yousendit.com or whatever sharing system you like. Chad Clark will feature the audio submissions on the WLP website and, as mentioned, I expect that we will find a new public venue to house the installation.

And, if you're reading this and wondering what the AMW is, I've described it as an sculpture or installation or instrument that provides a "synesthetic" or tactile experience of sound. By using low-frequency transducers, it is similar to Ricard Huisman's "Super Sonic Sound Scape Shoes" or Kaffe Matthews' "Soundbed". Please see the WLP website for more info, picts, etc.

All the best,
Eric

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to let you know that there will be an opening reception
for my piece 'Chora' presented as part of the 10th annual Outer Ear
Festival of Sound at the Experimental Sound Studio tomorrow evening.
The piece had it's inaugural run during 10ms: Perspectives on
Microsound at Diapason Gallery in Brooklyn NY last month and has now
migrated to Chicago. Please come by if you can!

"Chora is a generative meditation on the impermanence of form for
projected video and 4 channels of audio, whose inspiration comes from
the tectonic activity of the Pacific Ring of Fire. The work puts the
viewer at the center of an minimal audio-visual composition that is
constantly in motion. Rather than sound and image simply being
accompaniments to each other, they are instead projections of a veiled
system of forces created by a computer simulation. Through sound and
image, the work aims to create for the viewer a liminal space between
the virtual and the actual through which the viewer can envision new
forms."

Reply-To:	emf@...

Hello all,

Here's a call for your participation in Ear to the Earth next year.

About Ear to the Earth

Ear to the Earth is an annual festival and worldwide network based on  
the idea that environmental sound can connect us to the environment  
with a special vibrancy and emotional depth.

About next year's festival

The theme of next year's Ear to the Earth festival, to take place in  
October 2010, will be water.

Although the festival will be focused at different venues in New York  
City, it will have an international scope. We would like to  
demonstrate that artists around the world are concerned about the  
environment.

We're interested in the sounds of water and/or sounds or performances  
that will make us aware of water. We want to direct the public's  
attention to environmental problems relating to water, including, as a  
few examples, drinkable water, melting ice, rising sea levels, and  
polluted rivers.

The festival will incude documentary field recordings, instrumental  
and electronic compositions, performances, installations, interactive  
websites, and any other forms of experimental audio with imagery and  
multimedia. To create a clear context for the festival, we are also  
planning to invite scientists and artists to participate in panels and  
forums on different aspects of water-related issues.

Call for works

Send descriptions of your ideas or works, or send pointers to websites  
or downloads by email to emf@... with the words 'Ear to the Earth'  
in the subject line.

If you prefer to send examples of your works as CDs or DVDs, send them  
to EMF, 307 Seventh Avenue Ste 1402, New York, NY 10001.

If you have an idea for a specific venue in New York City, let us  
know. If you plan to produce a water-related event anywhere throughout  
the world during October 2010, and if you would like us to include it  
as a festival event, let us know.

Our deadline for receiving ideas and materials is January 7, 2010.  
We're beginning now to curate the festival, so please act or be in  
touch as soon as you can.




Best,

Joel

Look for me in the first floor hall near the Randolph Street side, where the large wooden "Silence" piece hangs opposite from the large "licenSe" sign. Usually, there a lot of tables and chairs available in this open space.

I look forward to seeing and hearing you.

All the best,
Eric

P.S.: The Site Unseen is an impressive annual event featuring durational performances, running continuously from 6—9:00 p.m., curated by Julie Laffin: http://www.dcatheater.org/shows/show/site_unseen_2009/

P.P.S.: This will also be an opportunity to experience "Reactor" and "Countdown," two sound installations by MW Burns, a part of the ESS Outer Ear Festival of Sound running through December 13.

Subject: soundwalk & listening event in Chicago's Ukrainian Village

Hello everybody,

Earlier today I spoke with one of the owners of Caf� Ballou (http://cafeballou.tumblr.com/, 939 N. Western Ave.) about the idea of a soundwalk happening in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village, followed by a listening event at Caf� Ballou. She is interested in working with MSAE / WLP on this project.

I had suggested that the event could happen on the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2010, which is Ukrainian artist Kasimir Malevich’s birthday. The soundwalk destinations might include: the Ukrainian National Museum and other TBA spots. What do you all think about this idea?

Thanks,

Dan

Dear World Listeners,

I invite WLP supporters to attend a meeting this Monday evening at the Chicago Cultural Center. I will be there at 5:00, one hour before the beginning of the Site Unseen performances.

The Site Unseen is an annual event featuring durational performances that take place continuously, from 6 until 9:00 p,m., curated by Julie Laffin: http://www.dcatheater.org/shows/show/site_unseen_2009/

The first floor hall on the Randolph Street side seems a good spot (where the huge wood "Silence" piece hangs).

I'd be happy to know if you can or can't attend. Please email me, not the list, and let me know if you can, and of any agenda ideas you may have. Please stay tuned for updates/details.

All the best,
Eric

Dear World Listeners,

I've been meaning to work on making a proximity sensor to control the volume level of the "Acoustic Mirror of the World" installation. There's no time for me to do given largely to having too many things to do already and my low-level electronics knowledge. Is there there anyone who can volunteer their time to help us this?

More info on the installation and our call for submissions on the World Listening Project: http://www.worldlisteningproject.org

Eric

Performance Research

Volume 15, No. 3 (September 2010) 'On Listening'

Issue Editor: Catherine Laws (with Ric Allsopp)

CALL FOR PAPERS

On Listening

Sound is an important component of much art work; increasingly so, thanks to

recent audio technologies. Sound has particular characteristics that can be

exploited artistically. We cannot close our ears as we can our eyes, and sound

can transport us across either space or time with a unique immediacy.

However, relatively little attention is paid, still, to the ways in which listening,

as an imaginative activity, is invoked in artistic contexts. Even in the fields of

music and sound art, the act of listening and the role of the listener are

ascribed far less attention than questions of artistic intention, execution, or

sonic materiality. This issue will focus on artistic practices and works in which

listening has a significant role to play, in particular:

- listening as a reflexive process: work in which the listener becomes

conscious of

her/ his own listening as significant to the artistic experience;

- listening as a form of interaction in the processes of composing/ making/

devising;

- listening as a reflective process towards and in performance;

- listening as a performative act: either the foregrounding of listening in

performance, or the performativity of an audient�s listening;

- listening as an embodied process.

The volume will bring together perspectives from a range of fields, including

music, sound art, and other performance practices: proposals are invited from

any relevant area. The format of Performance Research allows for artists�

pages and other visual representations alongside articles, interviews,

documents or reviews. If appropriate, the volume will include audio

documentation, on CD.

Deadlines for the issue are as follows:

Proposals: 11 December 2009

Draft manuscripts: 8 March 2010

Finalised material: May 2010

Publication Date: September 2010

ALL proposals, submissions and general enquiries should be sent direct to:

General Guidelines for Submissions

Proposals will be accepted by e-mail (MS-Word or RTF). Proposals should not

exceed one A4 side. Please DO NOT send images electronically without prior

agreement.

Please note that submission of a proposal will be taken to imply that it

presents original, unpublished work not under consideration for publication

elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript, the author(s) agree that the exclusive

rights to reproduce and distribute the article have been given to Performance

Dear World Listeners,

I wanted to mention that Brett Balogh, of the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology and World ListeningProject, has shown his work in free103point9.org 's Radio Festival NYC at the Ontological Theater. I believe this event ties in with Art In Odd Places 2009 . The celebration or intervention started on October 1st and continues through this weekend in New York.

Members of the New York Society for Acoustic Ecology have also been participating.

I just submitted this comment to Margaret's "Sound Is Art" blog:

I wonder if Charlie Mydlarz is a member of the UK's affiliate of the World Forum for Acosutic Ecology. The questions the soundaroundyou pose are the same ones R. Murray Schafer asks us when we go on soundwalks. When we began the World Listening Project in July, 2008 our aim was to collect recording from around the world and create an online world soundscape map. However, it was clear that so many of these already existed and we decided to collaborate with the real-time Locus Sonus Audio Streaming Project Map: http://locusonus.org/soundmap/ The WLP invites people to get involved with a community and add their web-mic to the world soundmap. I'll forward the Sound Science Project link to the worldlistening yahoo discussion group. We're collecting links to all the world soundmaps there as new ones are created.

NEW RELEASES on . point engraved edition:  http://engravedglass.blogspot.com/



Kiyoshi Mizutani - 'Onoji'   eg.p03



Mizutani has released several fantastic works in his career including 'scenery
of a border' (and/oar) & 'Yokosawa-iri' (cmr). His work is always fascinating
for it's simple ability to capture personal moments of exploration and progress
through the environment in question & 'Onoji' is another great addition to his
discography.

highly limited edition taiyo-yuden cdr mounted on oversized art card +
additional postcard. Shipping of this release will begin 1st week of November
2009 - it is likely to sell out very quickly so do please get your order in
early if you want to make sure you get one.  UK �8  Rest of World �10

Catherine Kontz - 'Canvas'    eg.p02



8cm cdr on printed art card in plastic sleeve. Limited edition.

1. T-Tree for piano solo (2008).
composed and performed by Catherine Kontz. (11:11)

2. Cahiers Trouv�s for electric guitars and effects (2008).
composed by Catherine Kontz. Performed by Henri V�xby. (9:24)

Both T-Tree and Cahiers Trouv�s are part of a series of large-format
`canvas-scores' in which I explore different types of notation that leave the
player a certain amount
of freedom and scope for spontaneity and creativity whilst keeping to the
idiosyncratic
techniques and sounds of the instrument.

Pauline Oliveros just gave me the news that Maryann died yesterday at 
9:30.  I've know her for almost 40 years - since the days of Ampex 
350  and 440 tape recorders and can still see her sitting at them for 
hours with her earphones.  I'm pleased that we were able to bring her 
here as a visiting artist - she loved the experience and would write 
me periodically about the possibility of returning.
