Wave Farm is pleased to co-present SoundCamp's Reveil, which in 2023 celebrates its 10th Anniversary. Reveil travels West on live audio feeds from streamers around the world at daybreak, making a loop over one earth day. Reveil (2014—) is a collective production by streamers at listening points around the earth. Starting on the morning of Saturday 6 May in South London near the Greenwich Meridian, the broadcast will pick up feeds one by one, tracking the sunrise west from microphone to microphone, following the wave of intensified sound that loops the earth every 24 hours at first light.

Streams come from a variety of locations, at a time of day when human sounds are relatively low, even in dense urban areas. This tends to open the sound field to a more diverse ecology than usual. The Reveil broadcast makes room by largely avoiding speech and music, gravitating to places where human and non human communities meet and soundworlds overlap. As daybreaks at Wave Farm, Reveil will pick up live sounds from property installations including Zach Poff's Pond Station and Soundcamp's Test Site of Acoustic Commons 1.

Soundcamp 10 is a project of the Soundcamp Cooperative with Stave Hill Ecological Park (TCV) and the Acoustic Commons network: Full Of Noises (Cumbria UK), Locus Sonus (Aix FR), Radio CONA (Ljubljana SI), HMU (Crete GR) and Cyberforest (Tokyo JP).

Streams are part of the live soundmap operated by Locus Sonus at ESAAIX, Aix-en-Provence.

The Reveil main mix is hosted by Wave Farm in Acra, Upper Hudson Valley, New York, the project's US broadcast partner since the first edition. Resonance Radio is the project's long-term UK broadcast partner. The show is carried each year in whole or in part by Soundart Radio (UK), NAISA Radio (Canada), and a network of FM and net radio stations around the world.
