It's a fantastic tool made with sane philosophical spirit.<br /><br />I could add my 50 cents to the issue by explaning why at the moment i have quit mapping sounds.<br /><br />I started using Aporee maps with no particuliar purpose then it began fitting into personal *projects*. One of them is a series of intentional recordings of my close environment. The implicit idea of this project is exactly looking for *global* questionning about the connections between humans and their acoustic environments from *local* observation of the acoustic everyday life. <br /><br />Little by little, i started to feel literaly surrounded: the audio spots i had fixed on the map were more and more converging on my house! Logical. And ironic. But it reminded me of the politics of mapping, related to possession, control and surveillance. I felt quite worried about that.<br /><br />That's my personal reflection (added to some lassitude face to the fashion of sound maps) for staying away from maps at the moment ;)Etiennehttp://www.beaubruit.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021962791170904689.post-9800662727336247962012-12-02T22:40:16.843+01:002012-12-02T22:40:16.843+01:00Dear Udo,

Rather, these few existing maps seem to raise awareness of local soundscapes around the world. By doing so this awareness can help in taking action to preserve unique features of the culture and soundscape of any place, for all species of life to exist in ecological balance. <br /><br />Due to problem with the stream from Vimeo I was able to watch the video and listen without constant interruptions. This may have effected my interpretation of the text on "localism" and "globalizing tendencies" of world sound maps.
