Tomorrow I'm heading to Las Hurdes, in Extremadura, to join forces with the Imago Bubo Rural Collective crew and work in the mediation programme of their project Caravana del Cine.

I'll be facilitating an introductory workshop on listening and acoustic ecology in two locations there: the villages of Nuñomoral and Martilandrán. The workshop is proposed as a series of collective practices of listening and field recording to understand soundscape as part of the territory, of collective memory, and of the current state of the environment.

We will engage the soundscape from a situated perspective: conceptualizing ourselves in the context of our sonic environment and reflecting on its transformation. We will work with our memory of the environment - both individual and collective, both climatic and acoustic - and the loss implicit in its transformation. We will attempt to provide an answer to the question: How to register a sound which can no longer be heard? Which is nothing but a distant echo of itself?
