Listening\u00a0Between a This and a That<\/strong>
\n28. June – 30. June 2013<\/em><\/p>\n

What lies beneath\u00a0conceptions of urban sonority? In what way is sonic awareness reflexive of\u00a0broader social transformations? The symposium component of Tuned City Brussels\u00a0explores these questions over the course of three\u00a0days in three dedicated sessions\u00a0titled:\u00a0Relational Noise,\u00a0Situational Listening\u00a0and\u00a0Operative Ambience.<\/p>\n

Recent\u00a0studies in auditory culture forge links between common categories of sonic experience\u00a0and broader sociohistorical transformations. Thinking through mundane terms\u00a0such as ‘noise’ (H. Schwartz,\u00a0Making\u00a0Noise,\u00a02011),\u00a0‘ambience’ (T. Morton,\u00a0Ecology\u00a0Without Nature, 2007), ‘resonance’ (V. Erlmann,\u00a0Reason and Resonance, 2010) and ‘vibration’ (S. Trower,\u00a0Senses of Vibration, 2012) sound’s own\u00a0vocabulary displays distinctive contextual\u00a0dimensions. Not only does this\u00a0vantage highlight potential biases circulating in the every-day language of\u00a0hearing but also exposes the pronounced\u00a0relational\u00a0character of sonic registers in general. Taut between a this and a that,\u00a0sound\u00a0begins to\u00a0negotiate\u00a0objects &\u00a0events, messages & murmurs, self & surroundings or sensation &\u00a0logic.<\/p>\n

Tuned City\u00a0aims at refracting sound’s newfound awareness through Brussels’ own relational\u00a0abundance, in order critically reassess sensory-urban affordances. With a focus\u00a0on hearing’s emplacement and listening’s affordances,\u00a0this series explores the\u00a0ways in which oscillations enact senses of the city.<\/p>\n

Relational Noise<\/em> commences the symposium component at Tuned City Brussels with a series of talks contextualizing the everyday language of sound. In his talk Missing Persons<\/em>, Hillel Schwartz proposes that attempts at making sense of noise demands a closer scrutiny of what been masked by, or excluded from, noise’s own presence.\u00a0 Shelly Trower explores the historical context of the nineteenth century in which a particular consciousness of vibration was formed with an attention to instances where vibrations retain an in-between status across sensory thresholds. Christoph Cox’s talk exposes an anthropocentric bias in distinctions between ‘hearing’ and ‘listening’ and will put forward an alternative approach that extends listening into the inanimate world. Closing this symposium block is a lecture-performance of Mattin in conversation with Kobe Matthys exploring the context of social noise and its political and cultural potentialities.<\/p>\n

\nSituational Listening<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the spirit of Guy Debord’s d\u00e9rive, the second day symposium block Situational Listening<\/em> picks up the discourse of immediate experience, nested in a dialectics of walking and listening. By fusing with the backdrop of the city, this day’s program blurs distinctions between lecture \/ performance and venue \/ public space. The events begin with a contribution by Francesco Careri in which he develops a notion of walking as an autonomous form of art that at once negotiates and interprets as much as it territorializes and intervenes in the city. Following this overview, Joost Fonteyne will focus on the specific genealogy of the sound walk and explores its contemporary implications. At another location in the city, DOC-team develop the theme of walking as a critical practice of every-day life and show how sound experimentation can link such practices of walking with emerging strategies of urban planning. Brandon LaBelle intensifies the relational in sound in order to spill over the confined limits of ‘self’ and ‘surroundings’ into sonic territories that forge collectivity. In his analysis of the ‘acoustics of sharing’ LaBelle provides a glimpse at possible alternate modalities of ‘being public’.<\/p>\n

The concluding symposium block focuses on various approaches towards an ecology of sound and atmospheres. Gernot B\u00f6hme will discuss an understanding of atmosphere in which ephemeral aspects of place are embedded within a complex structuring of acoustic space and whose constituent qualities often exceed measurement principles of the natural sciences. Jean-Paul Thibaud explores the social ecology of the built environment in order to consider urban ambiances as ‘sensory lifeforms’. On the other hand, Timothy Morton’s talk takes the example of earworms as the starting point for an examination of a deeper sonic ecology that redefines relations between sound and its supporting vectors.<\/p>\n
