Panel discussion – sound design and violence

Sounds are made when surfaces meet and resist. If the resulting vibrations are constrained, funnelled and pressurised down tubes, across vent holes and around resonant cavities we can design either a musical instrument or a sonic weapon. Sound touches at

Panel discussion – (un)natural systems and (de)composition: abstraction, reducibility and audibility

Sound is an experience of inhabitation. It is a sign of organisms and materials in interaction, of the formation, flow and dissolution of systems. This experience is historically, culturally, socially, materially situated: our sonic experience is embroiled with the systems
