IN THAT DAWN CHORUS [OF BIRDS] ONE HEARS THE THROB OF LIFE ITSELF.
—RACHEL CARSON

It is a time of great change, and it is a time of listening deeply—to each other and to the sounds around us.

This project invites you to stop and listen. 100 contributors from around the world have shared evocative one-minute videos of their local eavesdropped avian conversations. Call and Response refers to the actual format of this project—my call and received responses from around the world—as well as themes of community, connection and conversation.  –Melissa McGill
