Abstract
Last weekend Wave Farm featured dawn chorus recordings from around the world as part of Reveil 2017. NAISA in South River also participated in Reveil with a 24 hour broadcast of the soundscape from Warbler's Roost, a rural property 22 km west of South River. This show features a recording that condenses the 24 hour period prior to the Dawn Chorus time-frame, which this year was dominated by rain. The first half of Making Waves consists of a lecture by Matthew Rogalsky and Laura Cameron from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Their talk recorded at NAISA North Media Arts Centre discusses the work of WH Gunn, a pioneering sound recordist from the 1950's and 60's who recorded soundscapes in Algonquin Park, which has an access point 22 KM east of South River. Gunn published those recordings as a form of advocacy and education and the recordings included in this lecture were published under the title "A Day in Algonquin Park."
