This workshop is a continuation of the seminar “To Listen is to Think: A Sound Archive of WARTEN/GARTEN”, held last semester. Its aim is to collaboratively finalize the digital sound archive of the WARTEN/GARTEN garden through a 4-day intensive block format. We will focus on gathering, editing, and organizing existing recordings, as well as completing the accompanying website. The workshop will allow for collective curatorial, technical, and conceptual decisions in a hands-on setting.
The previous seminar addressed the ethical, political, and conceptual dimensions of field recording and sound archiving, with particular attention to colonial terminology, questions of accessibility and responsibility, and diverse sound ontologies. Students developed critical field recordings of the WARTEN/GARTEN garden and gained technical experience with binaural, stereo, and mono recording formats, as well as with sound editing and processing.
Participation is primarily intended for students who took part in the previous seminar. However, new participants may join after prior consultation. If you are interested but did not attend last semester, please contact me (crosalesfonseca@hfk-bremen.de) in advance to discuss whether participation is possible.
