THEBIGEAR
THEBIGEAR is a project coordinated by Francesco Michi
We intend to build an imaginary soundscape, imagining to have such a powerful ear that can perceive sounds coming from an endless acoustic horizon (click on "the project" for more).
Everyone can participate to the project… we are only asking you to describe the sounds you are hearing in this very moment exactly where you are… sounds in the room where you and your computer are, coming from the other rooms of your house, or from the outside, from the city or the countryside (to send your contribution click on "to participate").

AN IMAGINARY SOUNDSCAPE

It's a quiet Sunday afternoon. My dog is sleeping unter my desk and dreaming, apparently about something exciting. He snarls, very lightly, sighs, also very lightly, belches, once in a while he lets out a rather loud sound that resembles a squeaky door, then sighs again. Now he has become silent, the dream must be over.

How much can we grasp of the communicative potential of the sounds produced by non-human species?
