SUMMARY:PhD Reading Group: Sound Methodologies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a peer-led session exploring Sound (or silence) in practice-based research. Open to all PhD researchers in Art\, Design\, and Humanities\, at any stage of study. \n\n\n\nPlease see below for a reading list from Markus Hetheier in advance of the reading group in July. \n\n\n\nFrom Markus: longlist and shortlist reading recommendations plus questions to use when reading and discussing these texts and some practical examples: \n\n\n\nReadings: \n\n\n\nAnderson\, I.

(2016) ‘Thoughts in the Field: ‘Self-reflexive narrative’ in field recording’\, Organised sound : an international journal of music technology\, 21(3)\, pp. 222-232. \n\n\n\nGallagher\, M.

(2016) ‘Hearing urban regeneration: community composition as a tool for change’\, in Bull\, M. and Back\, L. (eds.) The auditory culture reader. Second ed. London:: Bloomsbury\, pp. 151-161. \n\n\n\nThe articles cover field recordings\, sonic affect\, soundwalks and composition as key sonic methods and concepts. \n\n\n\nYou could think about the following questions: \n\n\n\n\nWhich sounds would you like record and document as field recordings for your research? What narrative emerges from these sounds?\n\n\n\nWhat sound are you affected by? Do they hold significance for your research?\n\n\n\nAre there any physical areas relevant to your research that you could examine through soundwalks?\n\n\n\nHow would you approach to composition of the gathered sounds and impressions? \n\n\n\nWould you develop a soundscape composition by yourself as researcher and artist or would you involve research participants or both?\n\n\n\n\nTwo practical examples of research projects based on some of these sonic methods: \n\n\n\nhttps://www.isobelanderson.com/post/sailortownhttps://www.mdmarchive.co.uk/map/the-lapsed-clubber-audio-maphttps://sickfestival.com/2022_event/soundpaths/ \n\n\n\nWith the first two examples there are audio samples which you can listen to and some context if you follow the links. \n\n\n\nOrganised by: Jan Connett
