Dear Friends,

I'd like to invite you to participate in a special project of radio
aporee and the World Listening Project for the first World Listening
Day, on Sunday, July 18, 2010.

Radio aporee is an open project about the creation and exploration of
public space. Its creator, Udo Noll asks you for help in creating an
"audio snapshot of the world" as heard and recorded on World Listening
Day. Aporee maps uses the Google maps interface to allow anyone to
easily find their location on the map, then upload their audio via the
web or mobile phone.

We're inviting you to send an audio recording from your actual location,
or other places of your interest on this day to the maps:
http://aporee.org/maps/ <http://aporee.org/maps/> .

With your contributions collected on World Listening Day, Udo will then
create a dedicated project page on the aporee map. As Udo says,
"...besides having a nice documentation, I'm really intrigued by the
idea of listening to the sounds of a particular day, around the
world..." I'm very curious about what will happen, too.

Specifications for uploading

WEBSITE: http://aporee.org/maps/

FORMAT: mp3, 128-320 kbit, 44.1 or 48 kHz (for best audio quality, we
recommend bitrates of 224, 256 or 320 kbps)

FILE SIZE: max. 25 MB

PLEASE NOTE: Contributors should type a tag "WLD" or "world listening
day" in the keywords field, so that it can be found by searches.

Please be patient while uploading, depending on your connection this may
take a while.

Below are basic instructions on how to send sounds (upload) to the radio
