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.

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.

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.
