WEB FOCUS – SONICTERRAIN

Sonic Terrain

As the site states –

“Sonic Terrain is dedicated to explore the reality of sound, encouraging to not just hearing it, but to listening to it (and recording it) for reflection, relaxation, art, science, etc, valuing sound as a fundamental element that is practiced and studied by an incredibly wide array of professions: laypeople, sound designers, multi-media artists, philosophers, musicians, scientists, researchers, ecology conservationists, educators and many more. That’s why Sonic Terrain aims to offer a place for those disciplines to be cross-pollinated in order to expose everyone to aspects of sound, recording and reality they may not have considered yet.”

A huge resource for all things sound and here are a couple of tasters:
