Friday 29 October 2010, 6.00 pm.
6.00 pm Concert Rudnicki and Postle Electric Duo.
RPE Duo presents multimedia live act. Ever-changing visuals evolve throughout the performance from clear image to abstract art similar to music produced by musicians who interact with each other and the visualizations that are generated during the show. This interaction translates into a unique art form. Music expresses communication between trumpet and live electronics and exposes how limited material can be entertaining and evolving. Electronic grooves are combining hip-hop with techno, dub in experimental manner. Trumpet is giving acoustic vibe to the performance. Improvisations slowly evolve in time into dense noise or fragmented pieces. None of the material is scored however each electronic sound is carefully crafted.

She will discuss the methodological approach to exploring sonic experience, which includes the use of collaborative sound recording with the hopes of generating a shared acoustemology.

Sound and the city: Using sound recordings in social science research to understand urban issues.
Chris Boyko, Senior Research Associate in Imagination Lancaster, will discuss how social scientists use sound recordings in urban environments to compliment predominantly visual or textual data collection techniques in an effort to understand issues, such as quality of life and everyday lived experiences in cities. Two examples from the VivaCity2020 project and the New Interaction Order project will be described.
