13th-17th November 2017

The International Conference Electroacousticwinds 2017 SYNCHRESIS – Audio Vision Tales is organized by the Center of Electroacoustic Research (CIME), the Institute for Ethnomusicology – Research Center for Music and Dance (INET-MD), Research Institute in Design, Media and Culture (ID+) and DigiMedia – Digital Media and Interaction (CIC.Digital).

This conference seeks to establish bridges between Music Creation, Design & Soundscapes and New Media.

The eaw2017 SYNCHRESIS – Audio Vision Tales conference will focus on the relationship between sound and image, two different languages within the multimedia art form.  The technological tools to improve this relationship are the main focus of the proposed symposium; dialogical perspectives will be given center stage relevance and participants will be confronted with both technical-linguistic and aesthetic points of view, but also discussions on how technology is enabling these two mediums to merge, creating tools for manipulating and enhancing not only the artist’s creativity but also the audience’s immersion.

This audio-vision relationship has become a research focus for different authors in recent decades. However, in this field, as in others within the digital humanities realm, new assumptions and theories are created every time technology overcomes its constraints and presents a new paradigm.

Design and soundscapes aims to discuss and mirror interactions between and features of design, sound, silence and the potential to perceive space, place and time. Intending to enlarge the scope of the debate, Design and Soundscapes invites researchers, practitioners and performers to present theoretical frameworks and/or empirical studies that address these topics.

WORKSHOPS

Workshop 1 – Sound particles: presentation and experimentation by the author of the software, Nuno Fonseca

Date: November 13th, 10h00-13h00

 

Particle systems are currently being used in all major Hollywood studios, to create sounds for epic and complex scenes, though the use of hundreds or even thousands of sound sources, spread over a 3D space, and captured with virtual multichannel microphones.

This “hands-on” workflow will show how to use this new sound design approach to create interesting 3D sounds.

Workshop 2 – Sing and speak 4 kids, by David Sonnenschein

Date: November 13th, 15h00-18h00

 

SING AND SPEAK 4 KIDS – Using evidence-based music therapy and computer games to assist children with speech delays.
Music is a collaborative activity that both ignites social bonding and stimulates the whole brain. When a young child with special needs such as autism has difficulty learning to speak and socialize, song has successfully accelerated them to become kindergarten-ready. We’ll explore the field of music therapy and the underlying neurological mechanisms of music and speech perception/production responsible for these functional gains. In particular, a clinically tested music therapy called Developmental Speech-Language Training through Music will be presented as the protocol used in Sonnenschein’s current interactive computer program Sing and Speak 4 Kids. Through video and collaborative activities, the audience will experience directly how music and sound can affect the brain and speech.

Learning objectives for this workshop include:

  • Introduce how cognitive and neuroscience theoretical orientations inform music therapy practice.
  • Explore therapeutic goals by applying the elements of music (e.g., tempo, pitch, melody, harmony, rhythm) and employ functional skills with voice.
  • Explain the neurological theories that are the bases for speech and language training in the DSLM protocol, including
    • Gestalt principles and pattern recognition in music,
    • the OPERA Hypothesis (Overlap, Precision, Emotion, Repetition, Attention), and
    • the neuropsychological mechanisms and effect of DSLM speech and language patterning embedded in songs.

 

 

Workshop 3 – MUSIDESIGN: patterns in live performance, by Lori Freedman and Pierre Hebert

Date: November 13th, 15h30-18h00

 

Clarinetist Lori Freedman will be in open rehearsal for her festival performances as a solo creative and interpretive musician and as a partner in her duo with film scratcher Pierre Hébert. This will be a demonstration session rather than a lecture in theory, her practice being entirely about process and performance. Group discussions, comments and questions will have the focus of the rehearsal in progress, addressing graphic and non-conventional scores as well as her own creative explorations relating design and music.

Workshop 4 – Audio Post-Production for Cinema, by Nikola Medic

Date: November 14th, 9h30-12h30 – 14h30-17h30; November 15th, 9h30-12h30

 

This workshop addresses aesthetic concepts inherent to audio for cinema and also methodologies (workflows) associated with ProTools, used in the cinematic post-production industry.

 

Objectives and methodologies:

  1. To develop a greater understanding of the function of sound in cinematic narrative
  2. To present different work methodologies for use in post-production
  3. To introduce a variety of ProTools editing techniques
  4. To introduce the Foley process
  5. To introduce the fundamental elements of the mixing process

The workshop will have a theoretic component that will explore the aesthetic, technical and methodological concepts, in addition to a practical component in which each participant may apply the theoretical knowledge acquired through a series of exercises using sound editing, the Foley process and mixing techniques.

 

Requirements

A basic knowledge of acoustics is recommended. Familiarity with Protools is an advantage but not a requirement.

 

Number of Participants

12 – 15

 

Calendar and Schedule

  • Theoretic component – 3 hours
  • Practical Session I (Edition) – 3 hours
  • Practical Session II (Foley)  – 3 hours

Workshop 5 – Observation of the environment and construction of the landscape, by Carles Ameller and Dolors Tapias

Date: November 15th, 9h30-12h30; November 16th, 9h00-13h30 – 14h30-19h00

 

The workshop aims to offer knowledge and the opportunity to work on trans-disciplinary projects of artistic production and research linked to environment.

 

Objectives and methodologies:

  1. To reach a deeper understanding of the field
  2. To conceptualise the experiences and problems observed
  3. To explore processes of constructing the landscape
  4. To encourage trans-disciplinary knowledge

The workshop will include theoretical sessions and debates in order to reflect on the agents and the disciplines implicit in the subject. Various examples will be presented. Fieldwork will be carried out in the Aveiro region. Following the fieldwork, the materials will be analysed for a final reflection and debate.

 

Requirements:

It is desirable that participants should have basic skills in photography, audio-visual recording or any other form of expression that can be used in the workshop.

 

Number of Participants

12 – 15

 

Calendar and Schedule:

Workshop 6 – The Bucket System - a computer mediated improvisation system by Palle Dahlstedt, Per Anders Nilsson, and Gino Robair

Per Anders Nilsson, University of Gothenburg
Performer Ensemble, Aveiro University

Date: November 16th, 14h30-17h30

 

The Bucket System is invented by Palle Dahlstedt, Per Anders Nilsson, and Gino Robair. In essence it is an open structure of optical signs, a notation, and it is up to the participating musicians to make up rules for each particular performance. In a sense, The Bucket System relates to Cardew’s Treatise (1963-67), which is a graphic score where performers are invited, and obliged, to interpret and to make up their own rules of the given score in order to be able to perform the piece. It is mention worthy that Treatise is to be read in a linear narrative fashion, whereas The Bucket System is non-linear.

In his book Cornelius Cardew – a life unfinished (2008) piano player John Tilbury claims that Cardew admired Christian Wolff’s pieces, such that: “the signs do not represented sounds; they created situations in which the performers act, and the instructions consists mainly of suggestions as how the players interact.” The same can be said about the Bucket System. Another feature of the system is that it is democratic, and symmetrical with respect to power in the group, such as that each participating musician is obliged to provide, as well as follow, playing instructions. In other words: leadership is distributed among the players. In various settings the authors have experimented with different types of rule sets from different point of views, simple ones such as metaphorical, behavioral and hierarchical as well as more complex ones called contextual.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The relation between Sound and Image, two different languages within the multimedia art form, and the technological tools to improve this relationship are at the nucleus of this symposium. There are many research areas that address this problem in one way or another. Our main focus will be not only on the relationship itself, discussing the argument from both technical-linguistic and aesthetic points of view, but also the discussion on how technology is enabling these two mediums to merge, creating tools of manipulation that enhance not only the artist’s creativity but also the audience’s immersion.
