“…Simultaneously, as part of an interdisciplinary research project exploring the acous=c a(ributes of urban wetland soundscapes (www.soundlapse.net; Otondo & Poblete 2020, Poblete et al 2021, Otondo & Rabello-Mestre 2022, environmental field recordings were conducted using Song Meter SM4 standalone acous=c recorders (Wildlife Acous=cs, Maynard, MA, USA) on three urban wetlands in the city of Valdivia (39°49'8"S; 73°14'34"W): Angachilla, Miraflores, and Parque Urbano El Bosque. These loca=ons were selected to capture as much sound diversity as possible in each site, trying to minimize traffic noise pollu=on that could mask specific sound sources of the urban environment (i.e., the recorders were not located near busy streets, but s=ll captured vehicle sounds and other sources of anthropogenic noise).…”

Dot-Winged Crake Porzana Spiloptera (Rallidae; Durnford, 1877) in Chile: New Records and a Review of the Status of Pacific Populations

We report new records of the Dot-winged Crake Porzana spiloptera in southern Chile, an almost unknown species distributed mainly in Argentina and recently discovered in Chile. The occasional capture of a juvenile of the species at Cruces River wetland (39°S), and the analysis of sound recordings obtained to explore the acoustic attributes of urban wetland soundscapes, made it possible to discuss the status of the Pacific populations of the species. The new records show that P. spiloptera has a resident status and suggest that the presence of the species in Chile went historically unnoticed, and that it has been confused with the Black Rail Laterallus jamaicensis. Comprehensive surveys and dedicated research that provide fundamental biological aspects such as the current distribution, population abundance, habitat requirements, and main threats for these secretive rails are urgently needed for their conservation.

This article discusses the algorithmic design and implementation of A Queda do Céu, a sound installation and kinetic sculpture related to the Soundlapse project. In it we provide an overview of the project and go on to describe the main computational challenges related to the installation, which included a variety of realtime processing, interpolation, and mapping algorithms. We contextualize the work in relation to regional ecological and political debates, as well as the global climate crisis. In doing so, we echo other sound and field-recording artists in proposing that artworks have an important function as experimental arenas in which new technological applications can be probed and where new modes of listening can be investigated, reconfigured, and exercised. In closing, we lay out an overview of the current challenges being tackled by the Soundlapse project, specifically the development of a refined version of the sonic time-lapse method that incorporates machine learning routines and user-defined spatialization capabilities.

En los últimos años, ha crecido el número de universidades que han abierto la carrera de producción musical; sin embargo, la enseñanza de esta profesión no se ha limitado al uso de la tecnología de la grabación para artistas de la canción o el diseño sonoro; de forma gradual, los creadores que viven en Guayaquil (Ecuador) han explorado una línea particular: el paisaje sonoro como materia prima o eje de una obra artística desde la fundación de la Universidad de las Artes en la ciudad. Desde entonces, el concepto de interdisciplinaridad tiene sentido en productores musicales que trasgreden la tradición de la disciplina y proponen alternativas de creación sonora a partir de instalaciones, videoarte, performance u obras conceptuales, la práctica artística es realizada desde múltiples lenguajes artísticos en que se vincula el audio. El presente trabajo explora estas tendencias a través de tres exponentes que, provenientes de una educación artística transdisciplinar, han trabajado con el paisaje sonoro de la ciudad; sus propuestas confluyen en diversas técnicas, como ejercicios de representación sónica, grabaciones convencionales, procesamiento en tiempo real, programación e instalaciones.
