Auditory Learning

Background

Auditory Learning is part of Eileen Simpson & Ben White’s ongoing project to generate public resources, using the archive as a vehicle for collaborative activity. Using tactics of hacking and gleaning they explore legal loopholes to find and distribute out-of-copyright archive material for their Open Music Archive.
