Sound Zen @ Artizen - Somes 2021
Soundscaping and soundfulness workshop in the CFR Park CLUJ (Parcul Feroviarilor)
Saturday, August the 13th , 11 am.
"When you listen carefully to the soundscape it becomes quite miraculous." R. Murray Schafer*
We will explore together the SOUNDSCAPE of the CFR Park in Cluj, in a conscious and meditative way, at a slower pace than we’re used to in our daily lives, looking for its typical sounds and its most silent spots. We’ll minimize our sight and will focus on what we hear, on our acoustic environment.
We’ll dive in a SEA OF SOUNDS that surrounds us all the time but we’re not conscious of in our “default” state of mind. We will identify the keynotes of the Park, maybe even the archetypical sounds and we will try to decipher the symbolism behind the sound phenomena that we’ll meet while walking.
Besides the occasional verbal instructions and some sound signals provided by the facilitator of the workshop we will keep the SILENCE as much as possible and listening to the stories that the park and the city will be telling us.
The participants are encouraged to make SOUND RECORDINGS, to take notes or to draw a soundmap of the Park. Later, individually or together, we can use these recordings to create a podcast, an audio performance and/or audio postcards, sound souvenirs, etc).
As part of the soundwalk at some point participants can offer SOUND GIFTS to the group: a song, a poem, some play on a musical instrument, etc (no longer than 3 min/gift).
See you on August the 13th, at 11 am, in the CFR Park in Cluj, at the entrance from the Mărășești street.
