 CIVIS SUMMER SCHOOL 11-15 JULY 2022 "SACRED SOUNDS-SACRED SPACES"

Music Department, NKUA - Athens

The Music Department NKUA, organizes an interdisciplinary Summer school throughout the CIVIS program, entitled Sacred sounds-Sacred Spaces.

12 Professors from 5 Universities and 25 selected Master's and PhD students from 9 Universities (CIVIS network) will attend the course of the Summer School!

This module draws its core methods and analytical concepts from the fields of sound studies and soundscape and applies them in historical research on auditory perception, and in the creative reconstruction of auditory perception in the present. The module covers a broad historical period from Antiquity to the present and focuses selectively on sacred liturgical spaces and the music and sound practices they hosted in the East Mediterranean, Central and North Europe.

Main topics
Ancient/Medieval music and sounding spaces
Acoustic ecology and ecological aesthetics: human and natural soundscapes as compositional context
Living the acousmatic: immersive sound and virtual acoustics in performance
