Hi everyone,
As most of you know, on the 28th of October 2025 we celebrated the Freesound Day. The Freesound Day brought together members of the Freesound community for a full day of talks, listening, and exchange around sound practices connected to Freesound. Hosted at the Campus Poblenou of Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, and simultaneously open to online participants, the event featured a diverse program of presentations by artists, researchers, developers, and sound enthusiasts. Speakers shared personal workflows, technical insights, artistic projects, and anecdotes that highlighted the many ways Freesound has been used, shaped, and reimagined over the past 20 years. Here is the blog post where we announced the Freesound Day programme.
Today we’re making available the video recordings of the talks so anyone interested can check them out. We prepared a simple web page with a list of the talks: https://fs20.freesound.org/freesound-day/
The Freesound Day programme also included a concert with some pieces selected from the Freesound 20th Anniversary composition contest. We are planning to also publish all the pieces submitted to the composition contest in the coming weeks (even though we initially promised we’d do it by the end of 2025 😅), so stay tuned!
That’s it for now,
frederic
