This episode focuses on sonic urbanism and the acoustic design of cities. We speak to Dr. Trond Maag, a sound urbanist who deals with the quality of public spaces and the development of urban areas. The practice of soundwalking is explored throughout as a mode of participating with the acoustic actors of a city: how they can be approached and reassembled.

This episode is based on extensive fieldwork in health science and physiotherapy at the University of Southampton. We speak to Dr. Debbie Thackray about how lung and respiratory health is explored via a listening practice known as auscultation; and how such medical listening is taught through technology and methods of simulation. You will also hear the final year Physiotherapy students at the University of Southampton during their simulated exercises that involve listening to the preprogrammed lungs of manikins, as well as talking about their experiences with real live patients.

This episode is based on extensive fieldwork in the Sound Studies Lab at the University of Copenhagen. We Speak to Professor Holger Schulze about his research in sound anthropology and visit researchers Dr. Carla J Maier and Dr. Melissa Van Drie to discuss listening and multi sensual ethnography in relation to public space, sculptures and food.

This episode is based on extensive fieldwork in biomedical and acoustic engineering disciplines at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton. We talk to Professor Anna Barney about her work with lung sounds, and listen alongside MA Sound Arts students at the University of the Arts, London as they navigate spectrograms. We also speak to audio researchers Eric Hamdan and Falk-Martin Hoffman about practical listening methods and tests involved in sound engineering.

This episode features artists and researchers based at CRiSAP (Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice), University of the Arts, London. Conversations reflect on artistic methods and practices of listening, and include subjects such as the environment, archives, data, bodies and more. Contexts that underpin discussions include migration, border studies, memory and documentation along with ongoing reflections on the role of technology, truth and audibility within sound orientated research. Interviewees include: Dr. Ximena Alarcón, Professor Angus Carlyle, Dr. Matt Parker and Syma Tariq.

This episode is based on fieldwork in audiology at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton. Associate Professor Peter Glynne-Jones, from the department of Engineering, discusses the use of ultrasound in cellular research and its implications for disease detection. We also speak to Dr. Hannah Semeraro and researchers Holly Watkins and Hannah Burke about their work in the context of hearing loss as well as auditory training and assessment in the workplace.

This episode is based on three online conversations with experts working in, and with, the National Science and Media Museum, Bradford, UK. We speak to Annie Jameson, Associate Curator of Science and Technology, about the complex issues involved in curating non-sounding objects within a museum. We also hear from Toni Booth, Associate Curator of Film, who discusses listening from a conservation point of view as well as how to engage visitors with sound. Finally, we hear from Dr. James Mansell (University of Nottingham) and Dr. Alex De Little (University of Nottingham), who work on the project Sonic Futures. They discuss listening as a form of participation within the museum context and elaborate on how creating experiences, through workshop scenarios, can unsettle the traditional role of the expert.

This episode is part one of a three-part micro edition on Sonic Pedagogy. It is made from audio recordings of workshops and discussions, designed and hosted by Listening Across Disciplines, which took place on Zoom during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021. The group consists of a range of international scholars and practitioners. Core members include the LxDII team (Salomé Voegelin, Mark Peter Wright and Phoebe Stubbs), along with Nicole Furlonge, Kerstin Meissner and Kevin Logan. Invited guests for the three sessions included Werner Friedrichs, Abigail Hirsch, Anton Kats, Michael Gallagher, Walter Gershon, Shanti Suki Osman, Tara Page, Holger Schulze and Eder Williams.

During this episode you will hear a series of discursive reflections that arrive out of small teams working in separate breakout rooms. Each group was instructed to scope overlaps and themes specific to their interests and experience, in relation to sound and pedagogy.

During this episode you will hear a series of discursive reflections that arrive out of teams working in separate breakout rooms. Each group shares views on how sonic pedagogy might meet the various problems and desires at work in educational contexts. Groups also connect conversations to methods and workshops as possible test sites for what sonic pedagogy is or could be.

 We begin this episode with a relay of contributor voices that weave articulations toward what sonic pedagogy is or could be. Afterward, you will hear a series of reflections that arrive out of teams working in separate breakout rooms. Each group shares various scores, ideas and experiments for workshops, and explore the possible sites of sonic research.

This episode focuses on methods and approaches to listening via the format of a listening protocol. In the first half, we hear from Syma Tariq, a PhD researcher at CRiSAP, UAL,  whose work explores the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan, and focuses on forms of archive, testimony and eventness through an examination of listening practices. In the second half of the programme we hear from Peter Cusack whose work explores the intersection of listening, field recording and the environment, often focusing on the soundscapes of environmental damage.

Both Syma and Peter share their views on protocols and methods in their respective research; and read their own listening protocols, which they made as part of a Listening Across Disciplines workshop.

This episode explores data sonification, how sound is used to convey information that might traditionally be visualized through a graph or chat.  In the first half of the programme we speak to Sandra Pauletto, Associate Professor in Media Technology in the Interaction Design Department at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. In the second half of the programme, we speak to Alexandra Supper, Assistant Professor in the Department of Society Studies at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University. Both Sandra and Alexandra reflect on their practice and research within the field of sonification and consider the potentials and limits of sounding data.
