Workshop | Urban sound mapping techniques

Urban Sound Mapping Practices. Analysing the city through cartographic listening

Conor McCafferty (Queen's University Belfast)

19-20 de Fevereiro de 2020

In this two-day workshop, we will consider how to map urban spaces, and their transformation, through sound. The workshop will introduce numerous examples of sound map projects to be found around the world, including interactive web-based maps based on field recording, and graphical approaches to acoustic cartography. We will consider the kinds of knowledge that sound maps can represent, and how audio narratives are embedded within the map interface. As part of the workshop, we will consider how to design a sound map, how to develop a critical and creative approach to representing urban space through sound. You don't need any special prior knowledge - just an interest and a willingness to listen and experiment. If you have a sound recorder, please bring it with you!
