What is SoundCamp?
Soundcamp is a series of outdoor listening events on International Dawn Chorus Day, linked by Reveil: a 24 hour broadcast that tracks the sounds of daybreak, travelling West from microphone to microphone on sounds transmitted live by audio streamers around the globe.
Soundcamp exists as the assembled activities of artists, scientists, activists, listeners and others, who contribute live audio streams at daybreak and head outdoors in small or larger forays to explore the sound ecology of strange and familiar places. For 24 hours those sounds are strung together to create a long, live composition and a kind of clock.
SoundCamp Stave Hill Ecological Park
Soundcamp / Reveil will be at Stave Hill Ecological Park in Rotherhitheand at soundcamps elsewhere in the UK and beyond.
As part of a programme of activities celebrating 30 years of urban ecology at Stave Hill Ecological Park in Docklands, SoundCamp returns to SHEP over the first weekend in May for International Dawn Chorus Day.
You are invited to join them for a free programme of workshops, walks, performances and discussions with Geoff Sample, Sarah Angliss, Iain Bolton, Rob St John, Dan Stowell, Rebeka Clark and Ceri Buckmaster, who will lead walks and workshops exploring the acoustics and ecology of the site, especially through birdsong.
The SHED at Stave Hill will be the broadcast station for Reveil: a live 24 hour radio transmission of the sounds of daybreak, which loops the globe with the rising sun from 5AM on Saturday.
There will be food by Leon Lewis through the weekend, and breakfast with tea and coffee on Sunday morning.
