About World Listening Day
Since its inception in 2010, thousands of people from six continents
have participated in World Listening Day. July 18th is the birth date
of renowned Canadian composer, music educator, and author, R. Murray
Schafer. With the World
Soundscape Project he developed the fundamental ideas and
practices of acoustic ecology in the 1970s. These inform the current,
burgeoning interest in our changing acoustic environment. Thus, World
Listening Day honors Schafer’s contribution to understanding our
world.
World Listening Day is a project sponsored by The World Listening
Project, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit charitable organization
devoted to fostering understanding of the world and its natural
environment, societies and cultures through the practices of listening
and field recording.
