About Us

Canti Spazializzati is the series of workshops and concerts, carried out since 2018, is dedicated to theories and practices in the field of experimental music, focusing on the concepts of spatialisation of sound compositions created for multi-channel sound systems.

 

Running since 2018, this initiative is dedicated to theories and practices of experimental music focused on concepts of spatialising sound compositions created for multi-channel sound reinforcement. It combines the idea of presenting new music projects with enabling artists to develop the spatial aspects of sound composition and creating a platform for collaboration between young musicians, composers and sound artists.

This service is a streaming platform for listening to spatialised tracks by artists invited to participate in our events. Each track is available in two versions – binaural and multichannel. The binaural version best captures the effects of surround sound in headphone listening, but will also listen well on regular stereo speakers (2 speakers). The multi-channel version is designed for surround systems, commonly known as home cinema, – that is, 5.1 and 7.1 speaker systems, as well as soundbars.

The team is now:
Curator: Daniel Brożek
Producer: Agnieszka Jakuszak
PR: Agata Szakiel
Sound engineer: Jędrzej Borowski
Visual identity: Kama Sokolnicka
Organizer: Fundacja na Rzecz Studiów Europejskich
Partnerzy: BWA Wrocław Galerie Sztuki Współczesnej

In the past Canti Spazializzati team was suported by: Martyna Woch, Mateusz Sabela, Joanna Sokalska, Jan Chrzan, Marta Konieczna, Barbara Celebucka, Karolina Pietrzyk, Mateusz Zieleniewski.

In 2019-2023 the cycle was organized by Fundacja PozyTYwka

Series co-financed by the City of Wrocław | www.wroclaw.pl and under the funds of the National Reconstruction and Resilience Plan: a program to support the activities of entities from the cultural and creative industries sector to stimulate their development.

Soundwalks

Echoes Platform

A series of audio walks created on an augmented reality (XR) platform, designed to be experienced independently with a smartphone and headphones (you can also listen on a speaker, but it’s best to avoid excessive noise in the places we invite you to). To take the walk, install the Echoes app on your smartphone, then click the link for the chosen walk and press “STREAM WALK.”

Irrigation Fields

coaustic study of the Wrocław Irrigation Fields

Katarzyna Roj invited us to the Irrigation Fields in 2021. As part of the preparations for the exhibition, the ŚWIT radio play was created. In 2022, we began continuous listening to the audiosphere of irrigation fields and examining the impact on the natural environment of noise pollution from the nearby fields of the Wrocław Motorway Bypass, the S5 expressway, Szymanów airport, and railway lines. We present a selection of automatic field recordings conducted 24/7 throughout the calendar year 2022.

19-20.03.2022
Canti Spazializzati Sound Lab 2022: Ecoacoustics and expanded listening

✽ Autonomous audio recorders expand our observations of the audiosphere through round-the-clock recordings. A vast archive of soundscapes is being created, which we are unable to listen to. We can analyze them, convert them into data strings to try to understand the state of the environment based on its sound. These collections of sound files can be used as scientific material or as a basis for sound works that use both sound itself and the sonification of data from recording analyses.
✽ At the meeting, we will talk about ecoacoustics and learn how to use the Kaleidoscope Lite (Wildlife Acoustics) tool, which enables basic analysis and search for sound events (we will work on recordings from irrigation fields in Wrocław).

ABOUT THE LEADER:

Dorota Błaszczak

She conducts eco-acoustic observations of her immediate surroundings. Her work spans the analog and digital worlds: radio sound archives, interactive sound education, sound installations and works, old and new VR, and early computer games.
