24 Hours - Hour 17: Sounding Linz
February 27th, 2022: 11:00 / 11 AM
Guest: Peter Androsch (Sounding Linz, Co.Lab, Acoustic Ecology, Composer)
Sounding Linz considers the city as being a body of sound made up of countless instruments. It is a continuously renewing and writing composition. The ongoing changes in the city are documented, commented on and recorded on a map of Linz. Everyone is invited to explore the Upper Austrian capital acoustically with their own ears and share their experiences. Field recordings, videos, photos, texts, sound walks and podcasts can be assigned to every possible location in the city. Hundreds of people from near and far have posted so far and over 50,000 people have visited the platform. They accessed the sounds, texts, photos and videos that capture the city’s soundscape more than a million times over.
At the same time, soundinglinz.at serves as a permanent research platform with a participatory agenda for the newly founded Co.Lab Acoustic Ecology at the Linz University of the Arts. This ensures the continuous development of the project. soundinglinz.at is a 21st century work of art: ecological – participatory – sustainable.
