The next edition of the lecture series of the Research Centre Performative Processes, Setting the Tone, has been announced! On the 19th of march, composer Gabriel Paiuk will give a workshop about our everyday listening experiences related to devices of technological sound reproduction.
In his lecture, Gabriel will give an introduction to how our lives are surrounded the presence of sound media and their embedded cultural and material conditions.
In the workshop we will deal with sound technology in a way which aims at exposing these conditions. Together we will investigate how particular characteristics of media and their technical characteristics infuse our listening, and how sound can be organised in diverse ways to focus on this aspect. For this we will operate with diverse loudspeakers in diverse constellations and spatial distributions, and will superimpose diverse methods of sound production.
Musicians are welcome to bring their instruments!
Please see also the announcement on the HKU website.
