“As environmental sound is commonly an aspect of our lives that is borderless and beyond our control, we often take back control by creating individual acoustic habitats, increasingly through technology but also by isolating ourselves in other ways. This isolation has consequences for the natural world. As our encounters with the infinite richness and complexity of natural sound decrease, the appreciation of its influence and importance declines in equal measure. <\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Through technology we can listen to environmental sound from all over the world like never before, but in a search for meaning, the basis of caring, nothing beats actively listening for a few seconds to wherever you are, whenever you can, right now!\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Inspired by his work with young people, particularly those in care, in 2016 Martin established HomeSounds. This research-informed project invites everyone, particularly young people in vulnerable circumstances, to become active environmental listeners for the benefit of their creativity, education, health and wellbeing. <\/p>\n

Scaiff has released nine albums of field recordings, performances, interviews, and installations. These reflect the project\u2019s diverse interest in environmental sound, and consider sound\u2019s impact on creativity, ideas, community, education, communication, conservation, health, wellbeing, climate change, environment, and social justice, particularly in relation to young people.\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n

Seconds Of Sound (S.O.S) is a collaboration project between Suffolk Community Libraries and Martin Scaiff. Learn more about sound and active listening in nature, visit the HomeSounds website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
