Sound

Thursday, May 12 and Friday, May 20, 2022

What do these urban places we usually frequent hide? Can we unveil them through reflection? Let’s rediscover the city, but by listening to it. The concept of soundscape was coined by Murray Schaffer in the late 1960s, and defined as the whole of everything that emits sound and surrounds us. In this workshop we will learn to listen, understand, discuss and explore the expressive potential of urban soundscapes, their relationship to heritage, cultural practices and traditions, opening the doors to field recording, which is now possible from almost any mobile device.
