How do we listen to the everyday sound environment? How do we listen to art?

Usually, we tend to get information about everyday environment through sight. At least we are most used to get information through sight. However, a lot of signals in everyday life are tied to hearing. Usually these are signs of warning – the car coming up from behind, the sound signal of a pedestrian crossing and so on. The auditory environment is extremely complex, and we depend on an acute auditory awareness to notice these soundscapes. Art can challenge this kind of listening by presenting soundscapes that we have never experienced before.

This is an invitation to take part in a sound walk. The sound walk will take us through everyday soundscapes in addition to the artistic soundscapes of selected artworks at Meta.Morf.

The soundwalk is a collaboration between NTNU music technology and NTN art and media studies.
