Salomé Voegelin, Anna Barney and Mark Peter Wright co-designed and led a workshop with MA Sound Arts students at London College of Communication. The session explored the ways in which students listen to specific examples from sound arts and the sciences; what methods and approaches are employed; how identification can aid or hinder knowledge; and what language is used to describe listening experiences. Conducted within an experimental and discursive environment the workshop has enabled an early focus on methods, and the ways in which students’ approach, value and discuss sound and listening across disciplines.
