[microsound-announce] Roma Soundscape Project

[alessio ballerini]

Registration is now open for the workshop in Acoustic Ecology curated by the Italian Soundscape Archive, AIPS (Archivio Italiano Paesaggi Sonori) and coordinated by musicians/sound designers Francesco Giannico and Alessio Ballerini. 

The aim of this workshop is to create a sonic representation of an urban soundscape, in this case the sound map of the Pigneto area in Rome, that will be also presented as an electroacoustic performance.

This event is part of a wider project, the Roma Soundscape Project, that aims at collecting an archive of the sound maps of the city of Rome.

A wide range of topics will be covered, from Sound Ecology to Acoustic Design, including the methodology of soundwalks, and the analysis, aesthetics and practice of the soundscape. The workshop starts on March 21, 2011, at 5pm in the newly inaugurated site of ‘Forte Fanfulla’ in via Fanfulla da Lodi nº5 in Rome. It will be possible to register at the same place, by presenting your personal data, until March 18 between 3 and 6pm, from Monday to Friday.

The maximum number of participants is 30. The workshop has a duration of 30 hours over a period of two and a half months, with three hours of sessions per week. The participants will engage in both theory and practice, and will produce a final project consisting of a performance/installation based on the collected materials and work developed during the workshop, as well as the creation of a dedicated website and video art clips.
The fees are 300 euros. A certificate in Sound Ecology and Acoustic Design - Roma Soundscape Project - will be issued at the end of the workshop.
