Minute of Listening: Call for Sounds

Sound and Music are inviting musicians, field recordists and sonic 
artists from around the world to be part of a new creative learning project.

Minute of Listening encourages children and teachers to engage in 60 
seconds of focused listening each day. Delivered to the classroom 
through a custom-built piece of software, the project aims to encourage 
imaginative class discussion and a passion for exploring aural 
experiences from a young age.

We're looking for minute-long clips of all kinds of music and sound that 
can be used in an extended project pilot from January to March 2012. If 
your recording is chosen it will be heard by over 10,000 children in 
classrooms around the UK.

We're looking for minutes of audio that are engaging, unusual, 
challenging, exciting or just plain beautiful! From performance poetry 
to string quartets, from sounds of the rainforest to electronic music, 
we want children to be wowed, shocked, delighted and moved by sounds 
they would never normally have the chance to explore in a school 
environment.

If you'd like your recording to be a part of this exciting new project 
you need to upload your sound to the Minute of Listening Soundcloud 
group no later than Friday 30th September.
