Out Hear was started by music-artist Dale Gorfinkel to encourage a culture of music, sound and listening experiences in outdoor spaces. In the search for fresh contexts for engagement with sound and place, Dale has presented events in bush and urban settings, and odd in-between spaces. Some events have simply involved being led on a soundwalk during which the sounds serendipitously unfold. Many Out Hear  events also feature musicians and artists who have the refreshing and joyfully challenging task of creating something that resonates in these specific environments.
