This workshop aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the safeguarding, digitization, and presentation of acoustic spaces for its incorporation in the creative disciplines. The workshop will commence by introducing participants to the fundamental theoretical concepts and practical methodologies involved in 3D acoustic spatial recording at May Chapel in Rosehill Cemetery. Through digital simulations and in situ measurements, participants will learn how to estimate, store, and analyze acoustic parameters of specific spaces.
From there, we will take a 10 minute walk together to Experimental Sound Studio, where we’ll continue the discussion. Emphasis will be placed on the creation of acoustic heritage libraries, allowing for the preservation and accessibility of valuable acoustic spaces. Additional topics include the creative and poetic potential of using impulse responses as a tool for creating narratives and meaning, and the cutting-edge realm of immersive 3D acoustic data modeling technologies.
It is important to note that prior experience in this subject matter is not a prerequisite for participation.
Required equipment will be provided by the workshop.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own musical instruments and recording devices
All the recorded material will be available for the participants and the community.
About Ginebra Raventos
Ginebra Raventós is a poet and sound artist. Her field of research crosses the voice, the word, the collective unconscious and psychoacoustics through sound, space and the moving image. She investigates the possibilities of expanding the field of action of poetry beyond the word in the text. In her pieces she displays her poetic universe, where voice, action, sound, image, space and text intermingle in an indispensable whole. In her works she also explores the idea of repetition and trance, that is, the alteration of consciousness understood as the displacement to a new mental space and perceptual world.
This project is a collaboration between ESS, the Embassy of Spain, and Acción Cultural Española (AC/E).
