Sonic Ecology, Soundscapes and Spatial Audio

Workshop in the Cross-Reality Space of the BOL with

Kirsten Reese (UdK, Composition) and Stefan Weinzierl (TU, Audio Communication)

Date: 27.6. 2024

Time: 2 - 6 pm

In this workshop we practice listening selected environmental soundscapes, discuss theories about listening, environment and technology, and learn how to record and render soundscapes ourselves. Themes we will touch upon: history of acoustic ecology ("Listening as Doing" Murray Schafer und Hildegard Westerkamp) and their influence and importance today, what knowledge and insight can sound and listening offer? (Bernie Krause), bioacoustic research and theories, listening as social practise (Pauline Oliveros), and spatial audio techniques for loudspeaer and headphone reproduction. We will share thoughts and ideas about art works with sound and ways they could and deepen climate and environmental issues.

Limited participation. Registration is requested at workshop@hybrid-plattform.org
