Audio art now encompasses a diversity of digital productions such as podcasts, a return to radio creation, cinema for the ear, as well as new projects of community listening. These approaches develop immersive sound environments for mobile projects, outdoor musical projects, as well as the creation of works presented in exhibition spaces.
The aim of this workshop is to enable artists and sound designers to fine-tune their audio editing and post-production workflow methodologies for presentations in various formats, including binaural on headphones, immersive performances and installations in specialized multimedia rooms, black and white boxes, multimodal rooms integrating tactile audio, as well as 3D surround sound. The course ends with a series of presentations of projects conceived and realized during the workshop, in the form of listening sessions.
