专辑简介

Following the ideas of the “Handbook for Acoustic Ecology” by Barry Truax, VacuaMœnia proposes an OpenCall for sound-artist, musicians or simple aware listeners to celebrate two years of researches and activities. The topic chosen investigates on “the propagation of sound” in a landscape, defined by Truax like Geometric Spreading, Atmospheric Effects and Surface Effects. Thus, the topographical elements – such as soil, hills and other obstacles – between source and receiver alter and shape the sound message. Entitled “SPEED OF SOUND”, it takes inspiration from Barry Truax’s Handbook for Acoustic Ecology, and investigates ‘the propagation of sound’ in a landscape, including how topographical elements such as soil, hills and other obstacles shape and alter the sound.

This CD is a compilation of the works selected in the OpenCall.
