Buffalo Fire Women Project - The Howl

This paper suggests a methodology for walking workshops regarding the boundaries of the body with the place where it stands, moves and walks. The key question is how through walking and embodied presence human knows and interacts with the world in a sensorial way. Considering that the body is always integrated into the perceptual flow of acoustic space, listening and sensory qualities of sound are core elements of these methodologies.
Firstly, there will be a presentation of sound artworks that reveal the dynamic characteristics of sound and how the body is immersed in it. Driven by Deep Listening practices of composer Pauline Oliveros this paper proposes methods for auditory awareness and understanding of the boundaries and relations of the body with the acoustic world. With the use of technology (piezoelectric microphones) the body realizes its spatiality.
In addition, interactive sound design methods are proposed in order to experience walking simultaneously in the digital space as well as on the ground based. More specifically, through parameter mapping sonification this paper suggests, both technically and aesthetically, ways to map elements of walking (such as heart rate) with sonic parameters in a digital environment.
This research reveals how sound reverberates in the body and how sonic communication becomes knowledge of the surrounding space. Walking and immobility become a rhythm between the body and the sound so everyone who walks answers in a subjective way to “walking as a question in itself”.

Embodied presence, sonority and movement

What sounds can you hear at the center of Athens after demonstrations against the economic
crisis? Usually the sound during a protest is noise, i.e. loud or disruptive sounds or political
noise. But, after the protests, the center of Athens becomes full of quiet sounds and silence.
The noise made by the protesters has already become a strong acoustic memory. The artwork
The Politics of Urban Silence is a sound installation that presents the transformation of Athens
in the midst of crisis from a noisy capital into a ghost town. During demonstrations the voices
and the movement on the streets are transmitted as vibrations inside metallic objects, such
as columns and railings. These vibrations of the demonstrations are recorded by the artist
with contact microphones and mixed with the subsequent silence as acoustic memory. The
artwork aims to show the emptiness of urban space as an echo of a demonstration and silence
as a political stance.

"Ακούω το περιβάλλον" είναι ένα ηχητικό κομμάτι που παρήγαγαν παιδιά 9-12 ετών. Ηxογράφησαν ήχους στο Υπαίθριο Μουσείο Υδροκίνησης, στη Δημητσάνα στο πλαίσιο εκπαιδευτικού σεμιναρίου. Ήχοι του καταρράκτη, του νερού που τρέχει  από το νερόμυλο, ο μπαρουτόμυλος, τα φύλλα, το φτερά της πεταλούδας...
"Listening The Environment" is a track that is produced by children 9-12 years old. They record sounds in The Open Air Water-Power Museum , in Dimitsana, Greece during an educational program
Sounds of the waterfall, the water running from the mill, the powder mill, the leaves, butterfly wings..
