World Listening Day is an annual celebration held on July 18 to promote the importance of conscious and attentive listening in daily life. This event is organized by the World Listening Project, an organization dedicated to education and research on sound and listening.

The goal of World Listening Day is to raise awareness about the acoustic environment, fostering a greater awareness of the sounds around us and how they influence our lives and the environment.

This day also aims to highlight the importance of listening as a tool for understanding and connection between people, as well as for environmental care, helping to identify and mitigate noise pollution and other sound-related issues.

The celebration includes activities such as soundwalks, field recordings, workshops, concerts, and other forms of sound-related art and education. This year, we went to the town of Escucha in the Bajo Aragón region, in the Cuencas Mineras district, to honour the name of the town and... listen.

This episode was created entirely by the AI. Stop! Not quite. There was a painstaking search and editing process. And all the lyrics were handwritten by Drone Operatør. But yes, all the music here was invented by a machine brain. Of course it learned from humans. Illegal data extraction, blah blah blah....

But this is it. Here we are! When the cold, damp smell of the rehearsal room hits your nose and the smoky, smelly pub concert creeps into your brain, just enjoy the ride. You've never understood exactly how sound travels on radio waves, to begin with, so what? This is our testament. The AI testament.
