Sounds of our Cities - Roeselare, BE - john grzinich - 0 views

  •  
    "In this project I continue to use creative methods for understanding and interpreting how listening to everyday sounds and soundscapes function as sources or triggers for the imagination*. This involves investigating the roles sound and listening play in visualisation through associative, emotional and memory responses as cognitive functions. In particular, my interest is in understanding how the qualities of these functions change as we age and what can be done to exercise our imagination. In the context of Sounds of our Cities we could sum this up in a few basic questions… one, what happens to our active childhood imaginations as we get older? Two, how do the sounds of Krottegem in Roeselare contribute to how people imagine their neighbourhood? And three, can this method be used for citizens and planners in imagining new ways to understand their city space?"

Sound maps * Pablo Bas - 0 views

  •  
    ""Sound maps contain sound records associated with specific geographical points. They are indicated on the map by visible markers through which you have access to playback controls for sound recordings, often they are accompanied by content in the form of texts and images. They tend to be collective and collaborative projects, possibly because they represent territories and regions that are home to communities that are frequently constituted in terms of observation. These often become fundamental factors regarding conceptualizations and content that the maps incorporate, which is why their participation becomes important, as well as for the production of audible and informative content that the map includes.""

Knock Knock: 200 Years of Sound Effects - BBC Radio 4 - Archive on 4, - 0 views

  •  
    "It's 200 years since Thomas De Quincey wrote On the Knocking On the Gate in Macbeth, the first serious consideration of the strange and powerful psychological impact of sound effects - sounds which aren't language or music but still carry a level of meaning which seem to elevate them above our everyday sound world. To mark the occasion, composer Sarah Angliss meets some of the world's foremost sound designers to consider the enduring power and ubiquity of the sound effect."

Son[i]a #366. Antye Greie | Radio Web MACBA | RWM Podcasts - 0 views

  •  
    In this podcast, we talk to Antye Greie about language, sound, and the body. At their intersection, the voice emerges, with its multiple resonances and different ways of introducing the voice of others through her own practice and space of visibility. Along the way, we look at her work and methodology, from the deconstruction of texts to the implementation of what she calls "feminist sonic technologies". Permeating everything, we encounter the memory and the experience of having been raised in the values and the political experiment of the former Eastern Bloc and feeling part of a silenced diaspora. Recorded: February 2022.

Between Silence and Stigma: Notes on Jamie Stewart's Queer Performativity | Victor Szab... - 0 views

  •  
    "In this paper, I interpret the musical performativity of Jamie Stewart, frontman for experimental pop/rock band Xiu Xiu, in terms of abjection. In contradistinction to analyses that represent abjection primarily as a psychic property or pathology, I read abjection as a state of social exclusion or rejection perpetuated by socialized individuals. Stewart's provocative vocal performances in Xiu Xiu dramatize the conditions upon which these exclusions are formed and enforced, illustrating the connection between abjection and the normative aesthetic expectations by which we assess the moral status of others."

The Antarctic and Arctic sounds rarely heard before - BBC News - 0 views

  •  
    "What do you hear when you think of the Arctic and Antarctic? "Singing" ice, a seal that sounds like it is in space, and a seismic airgun thundering like a bomb are some of the noises released by two marine acoustic labs. The project introduces the public to 50 rarely heard sounds recorded underwater in the polar regions. It highlights how noisy oceans are becoming due to increased human activity that also disrupts sea life."

Blind Walk - 0 views

  •  
    "Blind walk (the denied city) is a sound walk that tells the story of Santo and Peppino, two friends blind from birth and therefore lacking a visual memory of the world. Guiding us on a journey through darkness, Santo and Peppino offer us two special points of view that help us reflect on the knowledge of the world and the awareness of ourselves. Talking about their lives, their way of dreaming, remembering and perceiving, Santo and Peppino reveal a personal and unconventional Palermo, where memories of university life and political struggle overlap with everyday experience; where the perception of art mixes with that of the night and where, above all, the problem of the absence of sight is resolves in the presence of a wealth of signals and codes through which it is possible to understand the world surrounding us. A dear and old blind friend has since many years very good guide dog, who also has lost his sight, so now they guide each other is the title of the second part of the project which consists of a series of guided tours to Manifesta held by blinds.The intent is both to provide a better usability of the exhibition to other blind people (who generally do not find an appropriate reception in exhibitions like this) and to offer to all visitors a non-canonical reading of the exhibited works. The visits will take place on pre-established days."

Is it time to think of ASMR videos as art? - 0 views

  •  
    "They feature slime, crackling plastic, whispering, scratching, brushing and the thrumming of exquisitely groomed fingernails. They are, depending on whom you talk to, either the antidote to anxiety or a wellspring of annoyance. But might they also be art?"
