Bay Area Sound Ecology is an interdisciplinary forum centered around listening and the soundscape. We create projects and events to promote sound-environment awareness, making and encouraging opportunities for ear-opening sonic encounters.
BASE is the (currently unofficial) San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the American Society for Acoustic Ecology (ASAE), part of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE).
BASEbot Listening Salon
BASEbot is a meeting place for ear-minded people. The first public project of Bay Area Sound Ecology, it is an experiment in bringing people together around listening and the soundscape. At each event we invite someone to present their work with sound in front of an audience in an intimate setting. We discuss, we talk shop, we meet one another. Our plans always include some “open floor” time during which attendees can share short excerpts of work.
All events to date are listed in the BASEbot Archive
Sound recordings of presentations to-date are collected in the BASEbot Podcast Page
Join Us
We draw members from a broad group - sound designers, radio producers, composers, musicians, bioacousticians, and simply humans who listen. We are currently forming, and invite any interested persons to take part.
Please join the BASE yahoo group to stay apprised of upcoming events, and to take part in discussion of what’s next. This is a low-traffic list at this time.
Events will also be published to this site, so subscribe to our feed to stay current.
Recordings of presentations and other audio of interest will be published to our podcast.
