Bajo Un Mismo Sol - Collective Sonic Art Research

Explore sounds of belonging, for you and for others in a three-days’ workshop

When: 18th, 19th & 20th of May
Time: 13.30-18.30
Where: Sibelius Academy
Töölönlahdenkatu 16 C, 2nd floor

The workshop "Bajo un mismo sol" is bilateral and happens simultaneously with participants in Medellín.

All together we will train careful listening to places, make and share recordings of places we feel belonging to, and create collective sound maps in the mobile app MSWalks on Kansalaistori, in front of Oodi library, and on the square of Medellín Modern Art Museum.
On these sound maps that activate when we walk across the squares with our phones' speakers, we will also improvise with small custom-designed solar-powered electroacoustic instruments.

Participating does not require any background in music, but an interest in sound, for encountering new people and sharing ideas related to identity and memories.

A careful listening attitude is central to the activities, as well as an interest for sharing and conversing within respect of differences.
This workshop is related to a research and the registered participants will receive detailed information prior to decide on consenting to participate to the research.

The activities will be documented for research purposes and there are various options for being or not included in the documentation.
You may participate to the whole workshop or select the times that suit the best to your schedules.

After registering you will anyway be contacted and given more information, but you may as well ask information prior to registration by email at marianne.decoster-taivalkoski@uniarts.fi.
