AudioSpaces #15
AudioSpaces
Morning all. Remember this thing?
It’s been a few months since we’ve spoken here. This silence is for no good reason other than the goings on of normal life—most of which have been good, but all of which have nudged Substack down in the list of priorities. My apologies!
I hope you’ve all been well, anyway, and by my ears you have. Although we’ve been quiet recently, the same doesn’t go for you guys: every day the map fills up a little more with strange and wonderful sounds. Thanks so much for continuing to share your acoustic worlds with us.
Here’s a juicy selection of some recent favourites, from across five whole continents.

Space Station
Clearly, since our Android and Web release back in June, there’s been a steady stream of new contributors to join the usual suspects. We’ve been thinking of ways we might explore, draw interesting connections between, and just generally celebrate all the new sounds we’ve being finding on the map.
Of course, this newsletter represents one of these ways. The same goes for the research we began earlier this year, which takes a closer look at the recording and listening patterns of AudioSpaces contributions. We’ve also been talking for some time now about different kinds of playback formats, both inside and outside the platform, to allow you to listen to the map in new ways.
Recently, Oliver helped us take one step in this direction by developing Space Station. Every month, a new Collection filled with different audio contributions will be made available as a seamless broadcast in the app. We invite you to submit your own sounds, whether they’re completely new or ones already found on the map.
I usually end these posts with some other stuff to explore beyond AudioSpaces, but for now all I’ll leave you with is a big thanks and to say it’sgood to be back.
As always, more to come.
