<div class="column"><p><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">In recent music as well as in sound art, </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">sound </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">has
emerged as a crossroad of theoretical and practical questions.
Exploring timbre and noise, making space the central category,
inventing new ways of experimenting such as sound
immersion...; today’s music and sound art are renewing our
relationship to sound in a significant manner – as much in the
activities of production as in listening. What is a sound? Where
does it begin and end? What are the relationships between the
listener and sound?
</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">Many of these questions concern the permanent
interaction of sound with what surrounds it: physical space, the
environment, the audience... This interaction leads to the idea
of an </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">ecology of sound </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">in the broad sense of the term “ecology”
as a relationship between music or sound and </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">oikos, </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">the
common home, the world. Félix Guattari designates three
ecologies: </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">environmental, social </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">and </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">mental. </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">What then are the
links between music or sound and the environment (or nature),
society and subjectivity? More generally, what are the links
between music-sound and the world? Studying these links will
help us define the boundaries of a flourishing artistic field,
ranging from compositional practices based on the notion of
“soundscape” to site-specific realizations.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">The new disciplinary field of the ecology of sound is
characterized by its </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">interdisciplinarity, </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">which intertwines
references to arts and sciences, to exact sciences and human
sciences. In this way questions concerning the </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">complexity </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">of
our world arise, like that of “emergence”. Part of the
symposium will be devoted to the concept of an “audible
ecosystem” (as defined by Agostino Di Scipio), a notion which
develops the paradigm of complexity by way of the triangular
interaction between a musician, a computer system and the
environment.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">This symposium wishes to give priority to the analysis
of practices and theories, which aim not only to develop our
knowledge of the interactions between music-sound, the
environment, society and subjectivity, but also to think about
the possibility of changing the world for the better.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">The following subjects could be developed:<br>
</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">- ecology and ecosophy of sound, sound and acoustic ecology:
theoretical aspects</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">- music and nature<br>
- soundscape compositions<br>
- field recording, sound art, phonography...<br>
- site-specific practices: sound installations, soundwalks,
environmental music, music and architecture...<br>
- audible ecosystems, models of complexity and auto-
organization: emergence, enaction...<br>
</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">Proposals on similar themes are welcome.
