How can soundscapes be used as a way to attend to forest life and the many different ways that we narrate and relate to forests?

The forestscapes project aims to explore and document generative arts-based methods for recomposing collections of sound materials to support “collective inquiry” into forests as living cultural landscapes.

As part of the project we have an open call for folders of forest sounds.

I've been studying threads of #sociology of tech for a long time. My PhD was an ethnographic study of teenage gifting rituals w/ short-messaging on cell phones – a clue to how long it's been.
