Keywords: Sound studies, urban environments, 3D audio.
Core: Researching the affordances of the use of Ambisonics sound recording in the field of sonic ethnography in relation to culturescapes and urban environments.
Southern Italy has always represented an important arrival point for migration streams crossing the Mediterranean. Especially, Napoli has become home to large and widespread international communities, introducing different interpretations of the concepts of integration and assimilation. Such changes in the social fabric are an important research topic in the field of sonic ethnography. My research proposes the implementation of the Ambisonics technology in sound-based ethnographic studies to explore the affordances of space-preservative audio formats in this context. The purpose of this project is to investigate how immersive sound technologies can supplement the production of alternative narratives of certain social dynamics and crises, expanding the current discourse on the acoustemology of urban environments.
Giuseppe Pisano (b. 1991, Naples) is an electroacoustic music composer and a researcher in the field of sound studies. His work is characterised by the use of field recordings as a means of exploring space and understanding society. His writing explores sound perception, storytelling, epistemology and politics. As a musician, he composes acousmatic music and is known as a computer music improviser and acousmonium performer.
Artistic Research Autumn Forum 2024
2nd presentation
My presentation will revolve around the definition of my final outcomes for the PhD project, a series of four concatenated modules of pieces, actions, writeups that together represent a research environment. There is no doubt that the project has developed itself, on one hand broadening its horizons, on the other becoming much more specific about distinct themes. Describing this process, highlighting the starting points and my goals will be useful to initiate a shared reflection process during the forum and collect feedback and insights.
Artistic Research Autumn Forum 2023
1st presentation
This presentation will show the proceeding of my first year of research, my reflection work on the use of field recording in soundscape studies and the developments of the OAT project, and the artistic work. Morover I will outline how these proceedings represent the foundation of the project and how it is going to be developed.
