Sound Development City 2013: The workshop is geared towards urbanists, architects, nerds and anyone interested in listening to their city with headphones and a microphone, exploring its sound while expanding their own aural competencies at the same time.
Austrian artist Wolfgang Dorninger (Linz, Au) created the sound intervention text2field-recordings as part of the project Sound Development City. The sound material for the intervention originated from a workshop, where field recordings revolving around the themes of nature and technology will be gathered. Subsequently, the recordings will be structured into “Sound Containers”, which reflect the sound patterns and systems of the respective cities. These containers form the basis for the intervention text2field-recordings, in which texts relating the “sound of the city” will be mixed into sound scapes.
The workshop (Spetember 25th - 28th) was geared towards urbanists, architects, nerds and anyone interested in listening to their city with headphones and a microphone, exploring its sound while expanding their own aural competencies at the same time.
The workshop consisted of three modules: listening, recording, and acoustic narration.
