Abstract
This paper describes a sound installation designed to increase our aural awareness of animal sounds, aiming to reinstate our natural connection to our own habitat. Based on casual, seman- tic and reduced listening modes, we developed a sound instal- lation that presents creative aural experiences to enhance our connection to the natural soundscapes by recreating lost or for- gotten environments, thus contributing to the preservation of sound memory in the contemporary world. This paper explains the concept and implementation of the installation and offers a discussion of the role of listening in our society and strategies to make it a more conscious act.
