In this workshop, particpitants are invited to explore the acoustic and tactile perception of low range sounds. The session begins with an introduction to the concept of sound, before delving into the specifics of low frequency sound waves and their behaviour. The focus will be on the properties of low frequency sound, subwoofer arrangements, and how to listen with your body. Stefanie Egedy will provide relevant information regarding subwoofers, alongside some examples of classical arrangements, and how to optimize your home and event setup. Following the space dimensions and subwoofer type, these measurements can create ›living zones‹ (with higher or variations of acoustic pressure) and ›dead zones‹ (no acoustic pressure). The liveliness of an area is determined by the expression of the acoustic pressure throughout a region, where bodies can or cannot perceive the acoustic signal with their skin/body parts. At the end, Egedy will lead an experiential exercise of listening with your body.
Biographien
Stefanie Egedy is a composer of conceptual pieces and electronic music, and investigates sound in both installations and live performances.

Egedy co-runs the label COISAS QUE MATAM (THINGS THAT KILL), researches light-sound relations with Camille Laurent, and worked with Chris Salter on his latest spatial production. She has worked with and exhibited in Berlin at CTM Festival, Berghain, and KW Institute for Contemporary Art as well as at Harvard University in Massachusetts, Kunstfest in Weimar, and Zentrale in Vienna.
