A 360 video with immersive sound, please listen with headphones. (You may need to visit YouTube site to watch the 360 content)
The sound of our natural environment is a symphony of sounds, an encounter full of experiences, feelings, and gestures. This 360-video is being used as an experiment to explore the sounds at Quarrymill and introduce the experience to children.
The post-graduate researcher/RSPB Volunteer, Lise Olsen (University of Aberdeen) has been working with the Community learning officer, Miranda Shepard (RSPB Loch Leven) to deliver the Active Listening Project at Quarrymill in Perthshire.
This video is part of Lise’s research to
• Determine what sort of impacts could be expected to give an understanding of how to create sound work that fits with the RSPB aims and objectives
• Discover how the new immersive 3D sound technologies can be used in RSPB’s public engagement and educational activities.
The sound includes field-recordings, a discussion from a local walker at Quarrymill and readings taken from the John Muir book ‘A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf’.
