The course explores the spatial representation of sound using loudspeakers. 

We listen to historic multichannel works and compose new pieces in the multichannel loudspeaker studios at the TU studio in Berlin. Participants will create sonic miniatures and sound collages.

We will address different aspects of scale: How can we create and use proximity and distance in our own work? Course participants are encouraged to try out different strategies, make sound recordings in the field or at home, and integrate electronically generated and processed sounds into their experiments‚ from listening to and creating close-up textures to distant soundscapes.

Inspired by the works of experimental music composers and sound artists such as Pauline Oliveros, Maryanne Amacher, Max Neuhaus, Eliane Radigue, Elisabeth Schimana, Bob Ostertag, and Natasha Barrett, we will explore, excite, discover, and record surfaces and spaces that we move within and create ourselves.
