“The level of awareness of soundscape brought about by Deep Listening can lead to
the possibility of shaping the sound of technology and of urban environments. Deep
Listening designers, engineers and city planners could enhance ... quality of life” Pauline Oliveros
“Listening with care is an active process of intervening ... it affects the representation of things, adding mediation to mediations” María Puig de La Bellacasa
explanation from the designer
HS2 has invested millions of pounds into environmental surveys and impact mitigation along its intended routes. Teams of ecological specialists have been hired to deliver a tree planting program, create species-specific replacement habitats, salvage ancient woodland soils, grow saplings from specific culturally significant trees, and conduct ongoing surveys of ecosystem health2. HS2 Phase 1f will supplement these equally critical surveys.
HS2 Phase 1f will take complex audio surveys before, during and after landscape-altering construction and habitat rebuilding.
