AFAE 2022 Activities

AFAE Members have been involved in a variety of creative and research across 2022:
  • Jesse Budel engaged in several creative projects involving soundscape composition, including DWELL, a screen-dance work focus on endangered species in three South Australian ecosystems, and Herding Caterpillars, a VR project exploring the lifecycle of the Checkered Copper Butterfly.  He also mentored emerging composer Caspar Hawksley in a site-specific improvisation and recording project as part of a Carclew Fellowship. 
  • Vicki Hallett released new EP Ebb and Flow, a sound exploration using underwater recordings of the Barwon River revealing aquatic bugs, fish and other hidden creatures.
  • Anthony Magen has been working full-time in one the Country's fastest growing municipalities in Western Melbourne. In my capacity as a landscape architect I am able to instill and install sonic objects and share ways of listening daily through the creation of new playspaces and land modification. Loving the appreciation of sonically  sophisticated listening is developing in Australia. Listen to the land, listen to the people.
  • Tristan Louth Robins has continued to write on his explorations in ecoacoustic data analysis in his blog, Wrangling in the Antipodes. Posts from 2022 include examinations of applying acoustic indices in context and an introduction to acoustic detection algorithms.

​WFAE 2022 Updates

Over the past year, the WFAE has seen a number of exciting developments:

  • ​The addition of new WFAE Affiliate Member, REA_MX (Red Ecología Acústica México)
