I’m definitely up for the beach idea. Nice and focused – and there’s
lot to play with in terms of sonic content – both natural sounds – and
the sounds of people, radios, surfboards etc. Memories of days out on
the sand.
I’ve just moved from Eastbourne to Southampton. And even though
there's a coastline here, it’s all very industrial. On a hot sunny
day like today I’m missing the beaches at Eastbourne and Brighton.
Brighton beach rocks – and my ears are still ringing from the
fantastic summer beach gigs that Fat Boy Slim put on a couple of years
back.
Peace.

You might be on to something here..
The microkorg thing I wanted to do for Robotopera sort of had this in
mind..
I am sure there are lots of such devices, but the microkorg is battery
powered so you can take it to the beach. There's also a mixer by
behringer
that is battery operated, fyi.
That stuff aside,
Why not make this thing simpler and more literal and just make the
summertime project all about using sound sources exclusively from a
trip to
the beach?
Or to take it slightly further, any sounds associated with
stereotypical
summer events (ice cream trucks, lawnmowers, crashing waves..).
Confining
things to the beach makes for tighter guidelines though..
Either way, definitely want to participate in something.. Hopefully
we don't
talk about it on here all summer instead.. It's easy to ;)

In the interest of being outside and actually appreciating summer
while
it's around, what about something performed live, outside, perhaps
using sounds from the location of performance? Pick a outdoor
location
and a time (hopefully a time when it's appropriately summer-ish), and
perform a piece, in whatever sense of 'perform' is appropriate and
interesting. Screw sitting around in my house with headphones on, if
I'm going to do a summer project, I want to make sounds so
inextricably
entangled with summer they can't be separated, summer and sound
pouring
into each other until the mixture is impossible to separate.
