Copenhagen ❤️ Always lovely. Visited for a ”teaching-by-walking” stint at the Sensory studies PhD school, with wonderful Anna Harris and Holger Schulze. Couldn’t resist some truaxian listening exercises with coat hangers.

Ensin luulin, että Hannu Salmen kirja oli käännetty englanniksi, mutta eipä ollutkaan! Hämäännyin samasta kansikuvituksesta. Muistan istuneeni Hannun mainion kulttuurihistorian kurssin aiheesta, josta sitten syntyi tämä kirja. Pitääpä lukea tämä uusi Barclayn teos (onnittelut!), aihehan ei vanhene.

Finally, *all* lecturing done for this semester. Per Brahe looking good, still content with the land, the founding documents of the Academy of Turku in his hand. And me, content as well, happy to be of service to the ”Humboldtsches Bildungsideal”, or what’s left of it.

Oli muikeat Kulttuurintutkimuksen päivät! Sekaisin, yhdessä, erillaisina, samoihin suuntiin vetävinä, diskoa, ilmapalloja, hapatettuja säilykkeitä, tiedettä ja tutkimusta parhaimmillaan. Hienot kutsutut esitelmät (Kyrölä, Kuortti, Kontula), reteä paneeli. Järjestelytoimikunta kiittää osallistujia 🪇

Hyvää suomalaisen musiikin päivää. Turun tuomiokirkossa soi seitsemältä Sibeliuksen viides. Ja Kuulan ”Häämarssi”. Lopuksi me eli ”maailman paras Finlandia-orkesteri” soitamme sen, minkä soitamme parhaiten maailmassa.

Last (!) day of fieldwork, oh dear. Running the machine down with this lovely book. Since Feb we have accumulated approx. 200 km of listening walks, 800 recordings + 100h automated recordings, dozen pounds interviews, few kilos surveys, a bus load of new friends and research notes 🪇🐋 #SOMECOproject

The last of six 24h traffic counts has begun (quite pleased). Morning 5am at #Nauvo, sun is up, a little humidity in the air, food lorries delivering their goods to both duopoly stores (S and K) and people attending to graves of relatives. Counted 9 different birds. #SOMECOproject #soundscape

We are in #Nauvo! The last of our six villages. Started briskly with listening walks. 7 am it was calm and sunny, mainly ventilators, recycle trucks, phylloscopus trochilus and line of vehicles from the ferry every 15min. The new silent asphalt works like a miracle. #SOMECOproject #soundscape

So, our fieldwork consists of 10 days in 6 European small towns. Not all have hotels or restaurants, nor accommodations have kitchens. Yes, we have allergies. To make do we have carried food with us and made interesting dishes, with eg coffee makers. Behold, the joy, of proper food! #SOMECOproject

Löytönen (ed., 2009) lists our longitudinal research project among Finnish explorations (I’m an explorer!). In London there’s this chain of pubs, branded and decorated with Phileas Fogg in mind. Yesterday visited their ”Society of Explorers”. Thought it apt to take a selfie in the ladies’ loo.
