Interview with Frederic Font and Fito Conesa about the Freesound 20 years installation on the Radio 4 (RTVE) program La Barrera del So www.rtve.es/play/audios/...

The sound installation "Sounds to be protected. 20 Years of Freesound" will be exhibited at the Poblenou Campus @upf.edu from Nov 17 to 30. Curated in collaboration with the artist Fito Conesa, it reflects on the fragility of sound and its role as intangible heritage. www.upf.edu/web/mtg/home...

Freesound, massive shared sounds library, turns 20 with talks and listening - CDM Create Digital Music Who says the internet is dead? Not Freesound, the massive, community-run, fully free and open library of sounds from birdsong to samples. This incredible repository turns 20 years old today, and they'...

A vital set of talks on the meaning of sound, technology for accessing it, and planning for the future of freesound -- including coping with the age of AI.

Happy 20th, freesound. The internet will never die.
