Please register here. <https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tiG9M4L-SvOPmVjRkEk13g> Event description: Wind-up music boxes; phonograph cylinders; gramophones; microphones; radio; magnetic tape; compact discs; MP3 players; synthetic voices. These are just a few of the sound technologies that have framed our experience of listening since the 19th century until the present day. And while audio transmission and recording processes have increasingly moved from analogue to digital systems, the cross-disciplinary nature of sound technologies remains. Frequently dependent on the technical expertise of audio engineers, such technologies heavily shape the media industries and, indeed, our daily lives. This event will bring together a diverse panel of experts to discuss their experiences of employing sound technologies in creative ways: *Enda Bates*, deputy director of Trinity’s Music and Media Technologies programme, who will discuss his use of spatialized audio in 360-degree music videos; *Zeynep Bulut* (Queen's University Belfast) whose ‘Map A Voice’ sound art project included the re-assembling of voices using an auto-composer code; *Mattia Cobianchi* (Goldsmiths University and acoustic engineer at Bowers & Wilkins) on his historical sound project ‘London Street Noises’; and *Neasa Ní Chiarain*, from Trinity’s Phonetics & Speech Laboratory, who will discuss the ABAIR.ie Irish language learning website, and the development of synthesized voices for Irish. The panel will be chaired by *Linda Doyle*, Professor of Engineering & The Arts at Trinity, and the founder Director of the SFI Research Centre CONNECT, a national research centre focused on telecommunications. *** The ‘Sonic Spaces’ webinar series will run from November 2020-April 2021. The series aims to consider the creative possibilities of audio and sound culture as they relate to issues of society, technology, the environment, and the body. The series will include contributions from researchers and practitioners working in the Arts & Humanities, Engineering, Architecture and the Creative Technologies, among others. Upcoming webinars include: December 2nd: Sound & Technology February 10th: Sounds of the Environment March 10th: Gendered Soundscapes April 14th: Culture on the Radio The Sonic Spaces series is organised by Jennifer O’Meara, School of the Creative Arts, Trinity College Dublin.
