The World According to Sound: Ways of Knowing

The World According to Sound is coming to campus on Thursday, March 5 at 7:00 PM in Axinn 229 to put on their live, multi-channel audio event about the power of sound and the spirit of academic inquiry. 

For one hour you are going to sit in total darkness, surrounded by loudspeakers, and take a sonic trip with fellow members of the academic community. You’ll hear the vibrations of the Golden Gate Bridge, footsteps of ants, recordings made a century ago, and silence turned into music. You’ll be transported to 1930s Berlin, up to the ionosphere, under a sand dune, and into the middle of a choir singing in a church built in the 6th century. You’ll hear ideas, essays, books, theories, contemporary research, all translated into soundscapes that challenge you to rethink the world through your ears instead of your eyes…and ultimately to reconnect with what makes academic inquiry so meaningful.

Register here and find more information about The World According to Sound here.
