Projects Summer Semester 2023

 

 

This semester of the project was dedicated to the topic of mapping: sonic cartographies, walking and listening trajectories and forms of counter-mapping. Also as the end of the Projektwerkstatt, it was also the closing of two years of work. It ended up with some group presentations in the Zwille at the end July, and other as part of the Selbstgebaute Musik Festival, in September. The Soundscape Project had a whole station at the festival, not only for the 4th semester students, but also for older projects and more general works as well.

The project aimed to create an accessible map of Berlin's diverse musical venues through a dedicated website, informed by a survey of around 300 Technical University Berlin students. The report outlines the methodology, data collection, and analysis techniques, revealing insights into Berlin's musical landscape, shedding light on preferences and trends. The project serves as a valuable resource for students, residents, and visitors, offering guidance in navigating Berlin's vibrant music scene.

Multidimensional mapping as a new way of composing: Using soundscapes with effects, melodies produced from data, and sound-samples of previous semesters to create an instrumental storyline >

musical composition

by Shuhan Miao, Hannes Hügel and Marcel Heine


Driven by the desire to explore sound discrimination from a critical standpoint, this project embraces storytelling as a lens for examination. Integrating past semester outcomes, an experimental composition emerges, intertwining narrative elements with musical creation. The composition is structured by keywords and makes use of data-driven sonification of discrimination. It utilizes modular synthesizers, soundscapes, self-made and ethnic instruments.

< Sound Shapes

interactive installation and experiment

by Lennart Papp, Janik Faust

 

This project delves into the concept of sensory mapping, where stimuli are processed by the brain to create a coherent understanding of the environment. By focusing on auditory sensations, an acousmatic approach is taken, intentionally concealing sound sources to encourage individual interpretations of the soundscape. Participants engage in an interactive experiment using headphones, a mixing desk, and a laptop, manipulating sounds in real-time to explore spatial dimensions of listening and probe questions about sound perception and emotion.
