Environmental Soundscapes: Registration to Participate

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

Research has shown that natural sounds (birdsong, rain, insects) have beneficial physical, mental, and cognitive health impacts.

Starting with this prompt, CETI launches our first community science/datawalking/participatory research project Environmental Soundscapes to create a comprehensive sound map of the Portland metro region. Together we will gather sounds in our environment (natural, built, and human-influenced) and build a rich soundscape, exploring the various changes across places, times, seasons, and environments. And find unique sound signatures for the city and its spaces.

These recordings will be compiled into a public dataset for use by researchers, artists, policymakers, educators, and environmentalists and anybody interested. Research and creative projects will be designed and implemented in collaboration with volunteer participant-researchers.

We invite you all to join us in this endeavor. And please share with anybody interested. Reach out to hello@ceti.institute with questions, suggestions, and ideas for participants and partners.
