radio aporee ::: maps: a lab copy (c)

Field recordings from radio aporee ::: maps (https://aporee.org/maps/), the open sound map founded and kept by Udo Noll, held by SEE Lab (the Spatial Experiential Embodiment Laboratory, The University of Texas at Austin) so that they remain available. Every recording here was made and given by its own recordist, and is credited to them.

This copy exists for sustainability, with Udo Noll's permission, given 2026-10-24. It is taken from the Internet Archive collection radio-aporee-maps (https://archive.org/details/radio-aporee-maps), where the originals and their full metadata live.

Credit, on every recording

Each folder carries a metadata.jsonl with one line per recording: its title, recordist, recording date, licence, coordinates, its Internet Archive item and original file name, the links to credit it by, the terms of its licence written out, a note of where this copy was made from, and the credit line to show with it:

[Title]. Recorded by [Author], [Recording date]. [Licence]. Courtesy of radio aporee ::: maps

Licences, per recording

There is no single licence for this dataset. Each recording carries its own, in its licence and licenseurl fields: CC0 or public domain, CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC BY-NC, CC BY-NC-SA, CC BY-ND or CC BY-NC-ND.

• No-derivatives recordings (CC BY-ND, CC BY-NC-ND; adapt: false) may be played or shared exactly as recorded and credited. They may not be trimmed, faded, mixed, excerpted, or used to train a model.
• Non-commercial recordings (CC BY-NC, BY-NC-SA, BY-NC-ND; commercialUse: false) may not be used commercially.
• Share-alike recordings pass their licence on to anything made from them.

Recordings with no licence are not included.
