Best of One Year of Everyday Listening

Today it is exactly one year ago since the first post on Everyday Listening. Oh, how time flies! 132 posts later it feels like I am only just getting into this. I would like to thank all the people who visited, subscribed, came back, commented, sent me tips and collaborated. Here’s to an inspiring sonic future! 

To celebrate the first birthday of Everyday Listening I selected some of my favorite posts of the last year. As you might have noticed I like to serve a mix of inspiring links and movies, interviews, some longer articles and news. Some great new collaborations are in the pipeline, stay tuned and keep visiting the site! :)

1. Soundwalkers
   A great documentary on we use sound to navigate our way through the world.


2. Soundclusters 2
   Fascinating music making robots.


3. Mexico City: Coyoacán 
   The Places category has not been updated lately, but it is wonderful to listen to another place in the world and go on a sonic journey. Lately I have been uploading short bits of sound using AudioBoo on my Posterous page.  


4. 10 tips for effective web sound design
   Some thoughts on the use of sound on web sites. 


5. Noisy bubbles to guide the fishes
   It is surprising to find out how sound is used in unexpected environments.


6. Sound sculputres and installations by Zimoun
   We have seen many sound installations, but Zimoun is king when it comes to mechanical sound sculptures.


7. Ice Records
   One of the most fascinating pieces of conceptual sound art I have seen!


8. The sound quality and emotional value of CDs
   This one lead to quite some discussion among readers. Do we still listen to CDs?


9. What is your favorite sound?
   While testing out the AnswerGarden many people told me their favorite sound. 


10. Five Sound Questions to Verónica Mota
    I absolutely love the response so far to my Five Sound Questions. All the answers are great to read, this is just an example of one of them. Be it a very nice one!
