Mark Fell: Exploring spatial synthesis, listening and subjectivity
The Studio in Bath invites composer and artist Mark Fell to host a weekend-long workshop of collaborative spatial sound experiments and recordings.
For our summer event, and our contribution to the Fringe Arts Bath festival programme, The Studio in Bath invites composer and artist Mark Fell to host a weekend-long workshop of collaborative spatial sound experiments and recordings.
Event Overview:
This workshop brings together electronic sound synthesis and multi-speaker systems to consider the dynamic relationships between sound, environment and self.
Conventional spatial audio systems – like Dolby Atmos and ambisonics – are designed as general-purpose frameworks that function independently of their context, offering pseudo-perfect illusions of sonic objects as they move around a spatially-fixed and centralised listener.
This workshop confronts the ideological assumptions at play in such systems, with a series of group exercises, interventions, discussions, and analysis, culminating in the creation of an immersive spatial-sonic structure. No technical expertise or training is necessary.
