Listening and Noticing
This first step will provide a practical set of inputs and resources for how to document your perspective on everyday sonic moments. Techniques and strategies discussed in this session are suggested as ways of approaching our daily collective soundwalks into the streets of Livorno. To participate, any combination of the following are required: (1) curiosity; (2) a smart phone (or audio recording device and camera); (3) a pen/pencil and notebook/paper.
We explore the city surroundings at a leisurely pace, mainly by foot, in a planned route I develop. Either while out and about, or once we have returned home, use a pen and paper (in any way shape or form) to document the experience. This ‘sonic notation’ might take the form of a ‘map’ but perhaps not a traditional one? It could be entirely abstract, act as a ‘musical score,’ or in general, be some other interpretation of sound, time, space, and/or place.
Please check web site for all the details.
