BBC, Save Our Sounds

The insight is simple - there are numerous ways to capture the visual world, but barely anything in sound. The BBC World Service is trying to put that right and is asking people to help preserve 'endangered sounds' by recording and sharing them. The recordings are all displayed on an interactive map, developed by Airlock, that allows you to upload audio and place it exactly where it was captured. Other users can then click around and travel the world in sound.

'World On The Move used muti-media to take radio programming into areas not within the traditional remit of radio. Its subject matter was brought to life in the most captivating of manners and listeners were able to use the various platforms to generate new content.' Couldn't have put it better ourselves.
