"[S]he, too, has been thinking about the end. The possibility of human extinction. What stories will be possible when everything is gone? Can we tell a story if no one is listening?" Listening to Laurie Anderson always a great pleasure as she makes new art https://t.co/iP3xp5JS6K

@ConversationEDU And NSW gov has also forgotten Edna Walling's classic book, The Australian Roadside (1952). The great landscape designer highlighted how important are these corridors for our flora & fauna. Roadsides act as refuge. What will be left now? At least after fire there is regeneration.

For the first time, a 'sonic identity' is designed to be heard by all, not just the few? By Yuri Suzuki & team with the International Paralympic Committee for #WeThe15. Foley sounds convey tactility & explore 'how sound can link all the senses together': https://t.co/RJZd4inKcK

Very sad to hear Murray Schafer has died. He is the author of The Tuning of the World, was behind the World Soundscape project and gave us 'acoustic ecology' and so much more.

My prediction is that unless we vaccinate kids under 12, within 18 months or sooner, depending on 12yrs and older vaccination rates, COVID will be a childhood disease. And not a trivial one.
