    SoundCloud Global Meetup Day :: 5 October 2011

    It’s only one week to go until our Global Meetup Day. SoundClouders around the world are gearing up for our Global Meetup Day next Wednesday. Want to know what sound means to the people of San Francisco? Dublin? New Yorkers? 

    Various meetup organizers around the world have been kind enough to share with us their plans for the day. Take a sneak peak and find out how to get involved on the blog!

    NYC friends! There is a special audio meetup organized by our two Community Fellows in NYC. Join them to find and record what people think is the best pizza in the City.

    RSVP on this Meetup event.

    Oliver Sadie | SoundCloud Sinfonietta (You Composed This)

    This is probably one of most original collaboration efforts I’ve seen emerging from our Community:

    One month ago, London-based composer Oliver Sadie posted a piano improvisation and asked SoundClouders to post timed comments with suggestions for what to add to the composition.

    Today, one month later, Oliver posts this extremely layered seven-minute article based incorporating ideas from no less than 17 other SoundClouders, including vocals from a vocalist in Portland. 

    The only piece missing: artwork. If you want to help out and create artwork for this piece, let Oliver know in the timed comments.

    If you’re curious to know why I have been in such a great mood these past days, click play now.

    Little back story: back in February, we teamed up with Vimeo for a Weekend Project during which Vimeo creators would use a song from SoundClouder Vanchy as the soundtrack to a video they would create over the weekend. The results were stunning and a girl from Sydney named Trixie was a runner-up for the contest.

    We stayed in touch with Trixie and when we decided to cover Sydney for this week’s SoundCloud Local, we thought “Why not ask Trixie if she’d like to get involved, meet the five SoundClouders below and capture it all with her camera?”; Trixie said “Oh yes!” and off she ran to film the video! This is the result. 

    When a stranger on the other side of the planet makes you smile, that’s when you know you have the best fucking job in world.

    GPOYW: The Bumped Into This Guy In San Francisco Who Went All Like Dude What? You Are THE David From SoundCloud? Edition
shipslinky:

I’ve always said that a great t-shirt is also a great conversation starter. While wandering around the Mission looking for food with a friend last week, I spotted this Soundcloud tee and the person wearing it happened to be none other than David Noël, the brilliant music company’s Community Manager. Here he is with Andrew Vilcsak, mobile platform lead at Airbnb.

    Tumblr + SoundCloud = ♥

    soundcloud:

    Tumblr and SoundCloud both are fantastic communities of people expressing themselves through the things they create; we think bringing them together is like a match made in heaven. So from today, we are thrilled to announce along with the fine folks from Tumblr that you can now easily share the sounds you create to Tumblr!

    Here’s what we’ve made possible:

    Record and share to Tumblr:

    Capture any audio on-the-fly with our iPhone and Android apps and share your recordings directly to your Tumblr blog. This is super neat for impromptu interviews, commentary, breaking news, comedy or poetry - heck, pretty much anything you hear around you.

    Meet Tumblr’s David at a spontaneous Tumblr meetup in Berlin? Hit the record button:

    Here are some other nice recordings from Maura, Bijan, Caroline, David & Alex.

    Auto-publish your new sounds and favorites:

    In your advanced SoundCloud settings, you can now choose to automatically push favorites and new sounds you created to your Tumblr blog. Save time when sharing the sounds you create!

    Super-easy sharing:

    Found something on SoundCloud you like? Easily post to Tumblr by pushing the Share button on SoundCloud or grab the url and post it as an external source on Tumblr Audio posts.


    Search SoundCloud on Tumblr:

    When creating an audio post, you can now search, preview and post audio from SoundCloud to Tumblr.

    Oh and in case you hadn’t noticed, we’re all big fans of Tumblr and a number of staffers use it every day for their personal blogs. Find out who does and follow at will!

    Thank you team Tumblr for your hard work on getting this out in the wild. We can’t wait to see what happens when people capture and use sound in their everyday lives, ultimately making the web less silent.

    A dream finally coming true? :) Boom, so stoked about this.
