REVEIL

with Soundcamp

Reveil (2014-19) was a 24 hour broadcast of live sounds of daybreak. Starting near the Greenwich Meridian at 5AM, Reveil travels West following the grey line just ahead of sunrise, when birds and other organisms generate a continuously changing wave of sound. Live audio feeds were supplied by streamers around the world using devices from phones, laptops and Raspberry Pi's to commercial broadcasting equipment. Domestic scale projects join formal research networks to realize a collective composition of environmental sounds lasting one earth day. Reveil links a series of micro festivals (soundcamps) on International Dawn Chorus Day. Supported by Arts Council England and private contributions. Here we broadcast an extract from the piece. With thanks to all the streamers, projects and stations who make up the broadcast.
