The soundscape —the acoustic environment perceived, experienced and interpreted by a person or community, in context— reflects the network of relationships between living beings, environments and technologies of which we are all part.
This workshop offers an immersion in the natural soundscape through practices of deep and augmented listening and soundwalk, an introduction to field recording techniques, and a space for relational reflection and creation based on our experience, perception and interpretation of what sounds.
During the first part of the workshop, which will take place in the natural spaces surrounding Pratdip, concepts will be introduced and exercises in individual and collective attentive listening will be practised. Along a walking route, participants will listen to, identify and record the sounds of the environment and of the various species that inhabit it, organise them according to their sources, situate them in space and within the ecosystem, and connect them with the identity of the territory and its communities. They will listen both live and through devices —recorders, mobile phones, headphones— with which they will carry out guided field recordings in order to experience, first-hand, methods, techniques and concepts of field recording.
After a break, we will meet again at the Pratdip Library to listen together to the recordings made and open a space for conversation around soundscape, ecology, heritage and contemporary artistic practices; to rethink the relationship between nature, technology and creation; to explore the relational, poetic and political dimensions of sound; or to imagine projects based on the sounds collected.
The workshop is aimed at people interested in soundscape, ecology, sound art, ethnography, bioacoustics, research-creation, phonography, music, art and intentional listening.
No previous knowledge is required.
Participants are encouraged to bring a sound recorder, headphones and a splitter if sharing a device. Alternatively, participants may use a mobile phone with a good sound recording app.
Ilaria Sartori is a professor of ethnomusicology at ESMUC — Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya.
Workshop language: Catalan.
Other languages spoken: Spanish, Italian, English.
