How can I get involved?
Each week, we ask Portlanders a simple, broad question about their lives in the City of Roses. We invite you to upload your own answers to our question. Just click the ‘dropbox’ link found under our twitter feed.
We would also love to hear sounds you’ve collected around Portland. All you need is your smartphone! Just download the Soundcloud app on your phone, stick the phone within earshot of any sound, and immediately upload the audio to a soundcloud account! Then shoot us a link and we’ll upload it to our site.
Why just sound?
There’s a certain authenticity found in sound. Audio provides a rare form of intimacy, forging a relationship between subject and listener. Whether it be a human voice, a bird song, or the noise from a dump truck waking you up in the morning, sounds elicit emotions in a unique and powerful way.
I have a great idea for an interview or some amazing sound…what should I do?
We love community participation! If you have a great idea for a Portland Portrait or an Organic Sound, you can email Evan at Evan@soundcloud.com . If you’ve conducted an interview or collected some great sounds, you can also upload them to our dropbox, found right under our twitter feed on the right-hand side of the screen.
How can I find out about the Soundcloud Fellowship program?
You can check out some of the other fellowships here (they’re awesome!). Check back for more info soon!
