Sound walking for Composers (workshop)

The British national organisation for new music, Sound and Music, welcomes you to another Composers’ Workshop, co-hosted with walk · listen · create.

In this workshop, we will look at an introduction to soundwalking and geo-located / locative sound work, and explore various tools and methods which can be used by composers to create work in this field.

Speakers

If you are interested in sound walking, geo-located work, or any of the many sound walking apps then join us to meet some of the people behind walk · listen · create, Echoes.xyz, and Carina Pesch who created The Ears May Travel, a sonic work commenting on travelling and borders in the time of COVID.

This will be a relaxed workshop. You are welcome to keep your video turned off, and come and leave at leisure. There will be live captions provided through an external app which are accessible via a browser.

If you have any access needs not covered here, please get in touch with Laonikos.PC@soundandmusic.org and let us know.

One thought on “Sound walking for Composers (workshop)

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
