Almost 4 years after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disaster in Japan, a sound project sends a signal to the people of Fukushima - that we are still listening.

Meanwhile in Fukushima is a collaborative audio arts project led by French artist, Dominique Balaÿ, who felt he couldn't remain passive as the disaster unfolded. Balaÿ flew to Japan and spent a month in Tokyo and Fukushima, collected more than 30 hours of field recordings and interviews, and created an online library of 'open sounds'. He invited sound artists all over the world to work with those recordings to create, compose and connect.

Since 2011, more than 50 artists have participated in the the project, which has featured in 20+ countries. And for all the soundies out there who would like to get involved -

Meanwhile in Fukushima is still taking contributions.

Dominique Balaÿ, born in 1968, works and lives in the South of France. He's the founder and artistic director of WebSYNradio.
