Lecture and panel discussion with Frank Pecquet, George Lewis, Seth Cluett, and Miya Masaoka

RSVP HERE

Acoustic ontology characterizes the relationship we have with the world of sound, our world of sound being in the forefront, and that of the human tribe being in the background. The word ecosound refers to this paradigm. The role of sound design and its actors is therefore to monitor this question of a new sound order, which we have defined as “ecosonic” and within which our daily life is organized in different living spaces, in accordance with existing norms and standards and structural frameworks.
