BEAM: Exploring maritime Kochi through sound

Paper presentation at ‘Sound Passages’, Università Iuav di Venezia (IUAV), Venice, Italy. Symposium co-organised with CRiSAP and with the participation of:
Enrico Coniglio, Comune di Venezia, Archivio Italiano Paesaggi Sonori.

Sound moves: it drifts and coalesces, it is reflected and it is absorbed, it shifts in meaning and register. And we are moved by sound, too: we are startled or seduced, sound orientates us or disorientates us. As part of a broader ‘sensory turn’, sound is becoming the focus of investigations into our experiences of place and space. In “Sound Passages: Passages of Sound”, researchers will present different approaches to sound – as a map, as a junction between perceptual fields, as trigger for memory and imagination, as abstract and quotidian, as material for composition and installation, as a way in which we are located and dislocated in the contemporary.
