The ‘Virtual Nature Experiment’ will be run in collaboration with the University of Exeter to explore people’s responses to digital nature soundscapes created by sound recordist Chris Watson and composer Nainita Desai.
BBC Sounds Effects will relaunch its digital archive as an interactive platform, featuring tens of thousands of recorded sounds of nature. Sounds featured on the platform include the
David Attenborough and a mountain gorilla. Website visitors will be able to use the new ‘Mixer Tool’ feature to create mixes and share their soundscapes on BBC Sounds Effects.
