The practice of phonography and the politics of sounds. A theoretical and practical introduction to working with field recordings.
- led by Gilles Aubry
During this seminar, we will study the social dimension of sound
production and reception, an area that could be described as the
politics of sound. From this perspective, the process of selection of
both the situation and object of recording is understood as significant
and raises questions like what is being recorded, who is documenting
it, when is it happening, what is being listened to and what is not.
The seminar will provide a basic introduction to field recording
practices and techniques, from a perspective that understands this
practice in a context between ethnographic research, musical
composition and sound art. The practical part, will include recording
sessions on locations chosen by the participants. The collected audio
material will then be evaluated in group listening and discussion
sessions and edited into short compositions, audio essays or
installations.
Participants need to bring a laptop, their editing software of
preference and headphones. Recording devices and microphones will be
available, though participants are encouraged to bring their own.
