Listening Workshop, Radionists, Goethe-Institut Ramallah

Organization of the workshop together with prof. Nathalie Singer,

Ramallah, 2019

What sounds were resonating around us? How did the space sound? How can a sound be described—soft or hard, bright or cloudy?

During this workshop in Ramallah, participants listened to and recorded both familiar and previously unheard sounds. By shifting focus and perspective through various listening techniques and technologies, we explored ways of limiting and expanding our sensory perception.

Walking through the city, we collected diverse sound objects, discussed their context and qualities, and structured them into short acousmatic radio studies and experimental urban soundwalks.
