Listening Cities Concerts
Eight channel performances hosted and presented by Salford Sonic Fusion Festival partner Listening Cities
How do a city’s soundscape and its ‘soundmarks’ evolve? How does a European urban context of affiliation develop over time and in relation to its location relative to other geographical areas? How can these topics be taught and communicated?
Listening Cities aims to promote a heightened awareness of acoustic communication within urban environments and contexts. It allows for the exchange of creative practice through concerts in each of the partner countries, the authoring of research papers and presentations on subjects concerned with the nature and future development of sonic art.
The Listening Cities project partners are: Tempo Reale (Italy); Group de Musique Vivantes Lyon (France); Alte Schmiede (Austria); and the Electroacoustic Music Research and Applications Laboratory of the Ionian University Corfu (Greece).
