Global Water Soundscape

March 22, 2013

The Global Water Soundscape consists of audio clips created by artists around the world who are interested in joining in a composition set to become an important part of preserving and protecting water.

Foundation Más Arte Más Acción launched a call to artists for audio clips relating to the 2013 theme "water". The idea of creating this soundscape is to connect, via audio art, those who share a desire to reflect on lifestyles that threaten life on Earth; the water crisis is clearly a threat to the survival of all life.

To increase awareness of the issue, the soundscape was broadcasted in different media and radio stations on World Water Day, March 22.
