Translocal Spaces Between Listening, Ecology and Sound Art Research at HKB Music

The concept of translocal sound architecture remains its central focus, aiming to highlight the potential of sound to shape, transform and displace space by exploring innovative forms of auditory spatial composition that move beyond traditional architectural models and classical electroacoustic music. The conference further demonstrates the transformative power and impact of sonic spaces in society through sound-based spatial interventions that bridge diverse locations, listening environments and perceptual layers. It fosters new perspectives on the interplay between auditory perception, environment and spatiality. Papers and Concerts explore spatial audio, multichannel recording and AI-powered audio spatialisation as well as fluid transitions between locations, entities, temporalities and ecological conditions by integrating artistic research, acoustic ecology, performative interventions, spatial audio and artificial intelligence.
