Endless Loop of Public Space Soundscapes : Tin will discuss soundscape as defined per ISO 12193 and present the ongoing SSID project and the new Acoustics Lab located in Here East:
Soundscape is the perceptual construct of human experiencing an acoustic environment in context. The new Bartlett IEDE Acoustics Lab, built for the SSID (Soundscape Indices) ERC project, led by Prof Jian Kang, features an immersive sound system consisting of 12 coaxial speakers organised into a sphere. The SSID team recorded numerous acoustic environments using first order ambisonics microphones in public spaces of London, Sheffield, Granada, Venice, Zagreb, Zadar, Shenzhen, Shenyang, Chongqing and Harbin. We gathered individual responses on those environments in situ to create a collection of true soundscapes. Tin created a listening session to be reproduced in the Here East lab following not the location they were captured in but circling in an emotional loop from calm into vibrant, then chaotic and monotonous leading back to another beginning.
