About the Laboratory

Unthinking/Unlearning project is set to devel­op new forms of son­ic think­ing and imag­i­na­tion through a series of online lec­tures and work­shops focused on the poten­cy of rein­ven­tion in cur­rent audi­to­ry, son­ic and musi­cal practices.

The lab­o­ra­to­ry con­sists of two sections :

The­o­ry : a course of twelve lec­tures avail­able for any­one to enroll, focused on three major top­ics : sound as a social agent, new con­cepts of the son­ic (Unthink­ing) and cur­rent son­ic prac­tice (Unlearn­ing).

Prac­tice : two groups of Russ­ian-speak­ing par­tic­i­pants (7−8 peo­ple each) select­ed via the open call. Depend­ing on their own pref­er­ences, par­tic­i­pants are giv­en the oppor­tu­ni­ty to join the work­shop they’re inter­est­ed in, select­ing from field record­ings meth­ods and advanced com­put­er music techniques.
