Sounds to be protected: 20 years of Freesound
"To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the CCCB presents Sounds to Be Protected — a sound installation curated by the Freesound team and artist Fito Conesa. The work reflects on the fragility of sound and its role as intangible heritage, inviting visitors to listen deeply and consider how our everyday soundscapes might one day disappear.

Conservation agreement landholders trained to use wildlife cameras and audio recorders as part of a NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust pilot project.
"Across eight regions in NSW, more than 1.4 million camera images and 15,000 hours of audio recordings were logged throughout the 12-month pilot, which began in August 2024."
"We got so many threatened species, including the sooty owl, the powerful owl, heaps of different microbats, including threatened microbat species...See[ing] what the species are doing over seasons and time will be really useful."
"The second stage of the project began in March this year and will wrap up in March 2026."

The Uncertain Four Seasons
What will our future sound like if we don't act now on climate change?
"The [uncertain] Four Seasons is an algorithmic re-composition of Vivaldi’s ‘The Four Seasons’. Developed by composers, musicians, climate and computer scientists using geospatial climate predictions for 2050."
"In 1725, Vivaldi composed a series of concertos that gave musical expression to the passing of the seasons in pre-Industrial era Europe. He called his masterpiece ‘The Four Seasons’. To depict what a future world might feel like, we’ve recomposed Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons using localised, worst-case scenario climate modelling for 2050."

#extratonal special 5 - Multispecies Festival at @varia on Friday, 25 and Sunday, 27 April 2025.
On Friday evening, @oyo and I invite you to a live listening session at Gouwplein, where we’ll listen to bats and rodents. On Sunday, join us for a site-specific soundwalk through Oud-Charlois, tracing the "cracks" in the urban landscape.

Koala interactions, affection between young male koalas
"Three males engaging in unexpected “affiliative” behaviours. They were grooming each other, sniffing each other’s genitals and vocalising to each other in soft, high-pitched calls, similar to the sounds baby koalas make... High density means the home ranges of koalas are more likely to overlap and their interactions will be more frequent. It also means competition for food, space and mates can be especially high. " >>

"The species was almost hunted to extinction...They used to skin them alive and put them back up the tree with no fur." >>

"Before they develop the land they wipe out all the vegetation, and then people grow introduced plants. If the area is big enough they will wipe out everything...Introduced lawn grass and plants won’t allow them to come back, because it’s not the habitat it used to be. So urbanisation makes a big impact on not only crickets but everything.” >>

"There are instances of reparative democracy all over the world.
Some are fleeting and partial; others are more sustained. Many emerge from the indigenous and the young, who do not need to be told that human and nonhuman life are interdependent, that the world is in an emergency state, and that constitutional liberal democracy is both incapable of addressing that emergency and itself an exhausted form."
"For reparative democracy oriented by the ecological emergency, for example, we need new ways of envisioning and hearing the nonhuman and our place within it. Sound theory, and especially bioacoustics, has much to teach us here. So also do some parts of indigenous cosmologies and ways of knowing." Wendy Brown

Male koalas are bellowing like clockwork on the shortest day of the year (winter solstice) every year ( 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) in the same spot in the Bellingen region. The usual breeding season for koalas is approximately August to February.
That means koalas are already on the move, crossing roads, clear-felled logging areas of Tuckers Nob State Forests and are forced to cross paths with fast cars and roaming dogs.
