Participants in this workshop learn about “sound” and “space” by reconsidering the meaning of “listening to sounds.” Through exercises such as walking blindfolded they understand the nature of the human sense of hearing, based on which the participants try ”composing with sound and space” using wireless speakers developed at YCAM.

Through this approach that involves arranging sounds in a space – as opposed to the conventional method of composing by arranging sounds on a timeline – participants develop an idea of how sound travels in space and eventually reaches the ear, while examining the acts of composing and listening to music.
