[locustream] CFP reminder: Koli soundscape conference
by Eric Leonardson 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

IDEOLOGIES AND ETHICS IN THE USES AND ABUSES OF SOUND Koli, Finland, June 16-19, 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS (reminder: abstracts by October 12) The 2010 WFAE conference will be held at Koli in Eastern Finland. Koli is a plausible site for reflecting upon ideologies, ethics and soundscapes, since it was amongst the key places of the national romantic artist pilgrims in the late 19th century Finland. The main organisers, Department of Finnish Language and Cultural Research at the University of Joensuu, Finland and The Finnish Society for Acoustic Ecology (FSAE) invite researchers and artists from all disciplines to join this forum of discussion. Confirmed invited and keynote speakers are (in alphabetical order): Steven Feld, Charles Hirschkind, Bruce Johnson, Anahid Kassabian, Andra McCartney, R. Murray Schafer, Barry Truax and Hildegard Westerkamp. More information at: http://www.joensuu.fi/soundscapes Proposals are invited for papers, workshops, roundtable, or artistic contributions relating to, but not limited to the following topics: NATIONS, NATIONALISM AND SOUNDSCAPE There has been an abundance of research on the topic of nationalism and music. What about nationalism and soundscape? Within sound of religious movements Martin Stokes mentioned recently that in order to understand certain Islamic movements today it would be crucial to understand their soundscapes. Collective listening or giving ?voices? to subjects and their religious experiences, are some examples. CONSTRUCTING PAST AND PROGRESS IN THE USES AND ABUSES OF SOUND Both past and progress can be used and abused as part of many ideologies. Have past soundscapes been used as a resource as part of these negotiations? The ideology of progress, then, is intimately related to the acceptance of noise as an inevitable phenomenon. ETHICAL CHALLENGES OF WORKING WITH THE SOUNDS How do soundscape researchers and artists answer to the ethical challenges of working with the sounds of other people ? and of themselves. How do we understand cultural convergences, differences and sameness? Or would it just be more important to learn to tolerate the other? Should the researcher or artist make an intervention -- or would it be best just to observe the uses and abuses of sounds from outside? THE COMMODIFICATION OF AURAL SPACE, SOUND AND SILENCE How does silence, its commodification and tourism fit under the same sky? What kind of strategies can the citizens and planners develop in different localities in order to guarantee the soundscape comfort, tourism as a means of livelihood and the touristic search of silence all at the same time? What about the urban environment with its ubiquitous transphonic phenomena? Who has the right to fill the urban space with music, and how is it currently happening? Please send ABSTRACTS (max. 400 words) by October 12, 2009 to the conference e-mail address koli(a)akueko.com. The abstracts are being dealt with in early November, and the people whose papers and sonic art works are chosen to be presented will be notified on November 10. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eric Leonardson E-mail: eric(a)ericleonardson.org <mailto:eric@ericleonardson.org> Homepage: http://ericleonardson.org/whatsnew/ World Listening Project: http://www.worldlisteningproject.org <http://www.worldlisteningproject.org/> Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology: http://mwsae.org <http://mwsae.org/> Delicious: http://delicious.com/eleon Twitter: http://twitter.com/eleona Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/ericleonardson Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eleonardson/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/ericleonardson Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/eric.leonardson mobile: 773-218-5796 skype: worldlistening

Happy New Year everyone! I hope your holidays were happy and restful. I'm forwarding this message on from Hans W. Koch, who is looking for young people to participate in this "sounds of my neighborhood" project. I thought of you may be able to help. There is a pdf attached to Hans's message. I hope it forwards, too. Sincerely, Eric -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [worldlistening] looking for participants for a global soundscape project [1 Attachment] Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 08:08:34 +0100 From: hans w. koch <hansw.koch(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: worldlistening(a)yahoogroups.com To: worldlistening(a)yahoogroups.com [Attachment(s) <#TopText> from hans w. koch included below] hello and a happy new year to everyone! its my first post on this list, so maybe a few words of introduction: i am a cologne(germany) based soundartist/composer working in different media. for a project i got involved with, i am looking for participants from as many countrys / cultures as possible. eric encouraged me to post this here: the musiktriennale, a musicfestival here in cologne wants to do a global soundscape project called: "sounds of my neighbourhood". as a kind of an education project. the focal point is a creation of stockhausens hymnen here, but for a kind of an education project around it, the idea is to take soundscapes from several countrys around the globe instead of national anthems. the soundscapes will be presented in an interactive installation, which will alow the visitors not only to listen to the individual projects in a quadrophonic setup, but also to intermodulate the different soundfiles via a touchscreen, creating individual trajectories around the globe. for this i am looking for volunteers all around the globe, who would be willing to work with groups of younger people (15-25 of age) to create a soundscape piece of the neighbourhood, they are living in. i would be interested to get a certain cultural diversity surpassing eurocentrism. attached is a short description of the project as pdf, but if you have questions, please don´t hesitate... would you know of somebody interestedin participating, maybe somebody, who already works with the kind of targetgroup i am looking for? any pointers would be greatly appreciated! all best from cologne hans www.hans-w-koch.net __._,_.___ Attachment(s) from hans w. koch 1 of 1 File(s) sounds_of_neighbourhood.pdf <http://d.yimg.com/kq/groups/22504824/331696112/name/sounds_of_neighbourhood…> Reply to sender <mailto:hansw.koch@gmail.com?subject=looking%20for%20participants%20for%20a%20global%20soundscape%20project> | Reply to group <mailto:worldlistening@yahoogroups.com?subject=looking%20for%20participants%20for%20a%20global%20soundscape%20project> Messages in this topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/worldlistening/message/599;_ylc=X3oDMTMzb29hN…> (1) Recent Activity: * New Members <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/worldlistening/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJndXJ1OGtkB…> 1 * New Files <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/worldlistening/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJoaGE1ZTY3BF9…> 1 Visit Your Group <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/worldlistening;_ylc=X3oDMTJmaGJldGFzBF9TAzk3M…> Start a New Topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/worldlistening/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZDY0bWFzBF9T…> MARKETPLACE Going Green: Your Yahoo!
