Exploring sonic and audio-visual practice.
The Sound / Image colloquium is interested in exploring the relationships between sounds and images, and the images which sounds can construct by themselves.Through a series of complementary strands – talks, screenings, loudspeaker orchestra concerts – we will bring together artists and academics to investigate sound and sound-image phenomena.Michel Chion is special guest. Additional keynote talks from Jo Hyde and Mairead McClean.The event itself will take place on the weekend of the 7th / 8th November 2015, at the Stockwell Street Building in Greenwich.http://blogs.gre.ac.uk/sounddesign/events/sound-image/

Contact - Augmented Acoustics

Felix Faire (UK), a Parametric System Designer had designed some very interesting interactive installations. One of these, Contact is an interface with which to manipulate and visualize sounds. Beautiful results. View Contact: Augmented Acoustics CONTACT: Augmented Acoustics from Felix Faire on Vimeo . "CONTACT is a tangible audio interface to manipulate and visualize sounds generated from interaction with a simple wooden surface. Any physical contact with the table generates acoustic vibrations which are manipulated and visualized LIVE as they occur using several communicating pieces of software. All code will be opensource and available on github.

"A pianoforte having been prepared in the manner described, any air may be slo...
