Sound Forms – Symposium

Sound Forms is a 3-day experiential symposium of talks, sound walks, participatory scores and sound-based art that aims to engage people in concepts in Sound Studies, with an emphasis on sonic perception, Acoustic Ecology and listening practices. Participants include artists and researchers from Denmark and abroad who have contributed significantly to the field of Sound Studies. Free and open to the public, the symposium takes place at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory, Koncertkirken, and Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Det Kongelige Dansk Kunstakademi. Several events require registration as space may be limited. The symposium is supported by SNYK, RMC, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art and Kunsthal Charlottenborg and the Danish Ministry of Culture. It is made possible by a KUV grant by the Ministry of Culture for the Sounding Bodies Research Project.
