Skupnost… Zvok in ekologija // Community… Sound and ecology

Zvoki so prisotni v naši okolici. Zvoki komunikacije živali in zvoki tekoče vode in drhteč veter so zvočna krajine naravnih pokrajin.

Urban landscapes, in contrast, are dominated by human-produced sounds radiating from a variety of sources, such as machines, sirens, all the transport and us humans. For most people around the world, life under lockdown comes with a long list of disadvantages and a much shorter one of things to be grateful. One of this is an “astonishing” soundscapes we can all notice all around the world. With flights grounded and roads clear, the corona virus outbreak is a chance for all of us, humans and the non-humans, to listen more carefully to the world around us and re-engage with sounds of nature. During the lecture, the students were given the task to record with their mobile phone an 2 minutes of sound that represents the soundscape of the outdoor space, where they spend time during
