Exploring Digital Soundscapes and Eco Acoustics | Innovation Centre

Join the upcoming event "Exploring Digital Soundscapes and Eco Acoustics" in Exeter at the Innovation Centre on January 30, 2024. This workshop aims to delve into the creation of sonic landscapes using field recording, contact mics, and instruments. Participants will explore the use of plants and materials to generate captivating sounds. By translating research questions into sonic manifestations, the workshop encourages participants to view sound as both organic and mechanical, ephemeral yet a form of data collection.

Throughout the event, attendees will have the opportunity to build live and digital soundscapes using field recording devices, pick up mics, and remix existing audio data to form new sonic worlds. The workshop will involve both individual and collaborative work, catering to various skill levels. Participants will focus on actively listening and responding to sounds produced by plants, natural forms, and man-made sources from their environment.

Notably, the workshop will feature an online lecture by sonic artist Johanna Bramill, who will share her process, ideas, and final results. The day's schedule includes practical workshops, presentations, and group discussions, providing ample opportunities for participants to develop their artistic works. The event promises an immersive experience where audiences can engage with the art created.

Don't miss this opportunity to explore the fascinating intersection of digital soundscapes and eco acoustics. Admission is free, and coffee, pastries, and lunch will be provided courtesy of CDT in Environmental Intelligence. Mark your calendars and join us at the Innovation Centre in Exeter on January 30, 2024.
