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.

Canti Spazializzati Sound Lab 2023: Workshop with Pawłem Kulczyńskim

The meeting with Paweł Kulczyński will be devoted to the use of synthesizers to control the spatial parameters of sound. This is an advanced and innovative approach to the ambisonic format, enabling a polyphonic approach to the creation of space and its acoustics, which can be experienced during the Canti Spazializzati #15 concert the day before.
The workshop will introduce participants to the strategy of spatial sound synthesis and propagation in an ambisonic environment. The software used will be available free of charge and on all systems – DAW Reaper, Surge synthesizer, and a set of IEM plugins. Basic knowledge of how to use these tools will help in participating in the workshop. For those just taking their first steps in ambisonics, we will provide a video recording of our previous workshops with Przemek Danowski before the workshop, which served as an introduction to this topic.

ABOUT THE LEADER:

Paweł Kulczyński

Musician, experimenter and sound artist, author of outdoor concerts, sound installations and theater music. He uses complex methods of synthesis, composition and spatial sound projection, and conducts workshops and sound walks. He is interested in the social and spatial aspects of music, the phenomenology of the audiosphere, acoustics, random events and conceptualism. He creates electronic avant-garde music at the intersection of genres, with an idiom that is difficult to identify. His latest works include themes of mass extinction, planetary mourning and climate crisis. He collaborates with leading festivals and institutions in Poland and abroad. He has performed at festivals including: Unsound in Krakow, New York, Toronto and Bishkeku, Sacrum Profanum, CTM Berlin, Primavera Sound and Gwangju Biennale.
