The story of environmental sound is the story of capture: of the exploratory search for sonic 'treasures', the calls of rare birds and the vibrations of places deemed 'untouched' and 'wild'. In this model, environmental sounds are treated as pristine artefacts, devoid of human intervention, even as they are the product of laborious field recording practices and technological intervention. However, the last 15 years have seen the rise of another model of listening to environments, albeit far less practised and theorised. In 'live audio streaming', microphones are embedded in places semi-permanently; they transmit sound continuously from one location to many possible listeners over the internet. Through these 'streamers', it is possible to tune in to the sound of a forest in Japan or a garden in South London in real-time. For some, live audio streaming is a symptom of the digital shift toward streaming everything. For others, it transforms the act of listening to environments from 'listening to' into 'listening with' allowing for the expansion of geographic borders. The implications of this shift in listening are underexplored both in contemporary sound art practices and in the sonic debates of the environmental and geohumanities.From my position as a professional sound artist and organiser of eight international audio streaming networks, this PhD project will examine contemporary live audio streaming from both scholarly and creative perspectives and will propose a critical framework for 'listening with' environments. The research will unfold through:i) analysis of the work of contemporary live audio streaming practitionersii) interviews with organisers and participants in five major live audio streaming projectsiii) creative practice-based experiments with live audio streamingMy aim is to develop a critical framework and transdisciplinary creative practice that employs live audio streaming as a unique platform for alternative models of listening and responding to environments.

环境声音的故事是捕获的故事：探索性地寻找声音“宝藏”，稀有鸟类的叫声和被认为是“未触及”和“野生”的地方的振动。在这个模型中，环境声音被视为原始的人工制品，没有人为干预，即使它们是艰苦的现场录音实践和技术干预的产物。然而，在过去的15年里，另一种倾听环境的模式出现了，尽管实践和理论上都要少得多。在“实时音频流”中，麦克风被半永久地嵌入在某个地方;它们通过互联网将声音从一个位置连续地传输给许多可能的听众。通过这些“飘带”，可以实时收听到日本森林或南伦敦花园的声音。对一些人来说，直播音频流是数字化转向流媒体的一个症状。对于其他人来说，它将倾听环境的行为从“倾听”转变为“倾听”，从而允许地理边界的扩展。这种转变在听的影响是underexplored无论是在当代声音艺术实践和环境和geohirmands的声音辩论。从我的立场作为一个专业的声音艺术家和八个国际音频流媒体网络的组织者，这个博士项目将研究当代现场音频流从学术和创造性的角度来看，并将提出一个关键的框架“听”的环境。研究将通过以下方式展开：i）分析当代现场音频流媒体的工作ii）采访五个主要现场音频流项目的组织者和参与者iii）基于现场音频流媒体的创造性实践实验我的目标是开发一个关键框架和跨学科的创造性实践，将现场音频流媒体作为倾听和响应环境的替代模型的独特平台。
