Soundcamp Cooperative is an international art collective based in London, Glasgow, Berlin, Lisbon, and Crete. Active since 2013, its members work on projects exploring transmission ecologies. Their interests range from DIY broadcast tools to public sound and radio projects. As part of the Acoustic Commons network, they coordinate the long-term broadcast project REVEIL (since 2014), marking the annual Dawn Chorus Day on the first weekend of May, bringing together sound art from across the world. Recent Soundcamp projects include: Work Shop #1 at Loughborough Junction (since 2023); Radio With Palestine (2023), a series of live transmissions from demonstrations; Spree ~ Channelsea Radio Group (2023), connecting rivers in London and Berlin; and As if radio… (AIR) — an experiment in ecological activist radio during COP26 in Glasgow (2021), among others.

Soundcamp is interested in the live transmission of sound between places and situations, drawing attention to lesser-heard human and non-human communities. Their work spans broadcasts, workshops, sound devices, and events.

A workshop and listening session led by the international collective Soundcamp Cooperative will introduce participants to the making and use of streamboxes – small, portable DIY transmitters based on Raspberry Pi and homemade microphones. These devices are used to stream sounds to the online sound map Locus Sonus, operated from Aix-Marseille in France. Participants will learn how to use streamboxes in artistic, scientific, and activist projects, including REVEIL, a 24-hour live broadcast of streams from around the world at daybreak on International Dawn Chorus Day. They will also take part in live broadcasts for ecological radio transmissions from the surroundings of Vinyl-LAB in Trenčín.
