Seeing Sound Symposium @ Bath Spa University

19th/20th September

<<click image above for link to website>>

Bath Spa University (UK) hosts an informal two-day symposium exploring a broad range of multimedia work highlighting the relationship between sound and image. Areas such as visual music, abstract cinema, experimental animation, lumia, cymatics, live audiovisual performance and relevant installation work will be examined and explored.

The event is planned as an informal networking event, with the primary purpose of fostering a visual music community in the UK and beyond. It will feature paper and poster sessions, live performances and film/video screenings and will take place at the University’s beautiful Georgian parkland campus in Bath.

I will doing a short presentation about my MA project at the event too.

Sonorous City: London Soundscape Project

Sonorous City is an immersive surround-sound installation exploring the relationship between the soundscape and our perception of the urban environment. A series of soundwalks stemming from the River Thames form the basis of the work, which reveals an experience of London lead by the ear.

Sonorous City is the result of a 2 year (part-time) MA research project in Digital Arts and part of the Camberwell MA final degree show 2009.
