John Levack Drever is a researcher and practitioner engaged in the critical and creative study of sound, listening, and hearing, with particular attention to their cultural, ecological, and phenomenological dimensions across society. He is Creative Director of Otoloci, an ambiance and soundscape consultancy, and leads Working Group 1 for COST Action CA23145, Architectural and Urban Ambiances of European Cities and co-directs the Cambridge branch of LAURA (Leverhulme Trust Aural Diversity Doctoral Research Hub). He is preparing plans to mark the centenary of London Street Noises (1928–2028).

Between 2007 and 2012, John investigated the soundscapes of public toilets, where the widespread use of ‘ecological’ hand dryers had created a hostile environment for many. This work led him to advocate for a new paradigm of hearing, which he termed auraldiversity—shifting from an otological notion of “normal” hearing to a socio-cultural understanding of auraltypical hearing. His inclusive agenda of auraldiversity now shapes thinking across music, sound studies, acoustics, and urban design. First presented at Harvard University in 2015, these ideas have since gained momentum, influencing research (AHRC Network, RMA 2020, Internoise 2022, Urban Sound Symposium 2023), policy (DEFRA, Welsh Government), and industry practice (ReSound, ARUP, Anderson Acoustics). With Prof. Andrew Hugill, he co-directs the Aural Diversity Project and co-edited Aural Diversity (Routledge, 2022).

An avid soundwalker and field recordist,John grounds his practice in acoustic ecology. Following his PhD in composition at Dartington College of Arts, he coordinated Sounding Dartmoor: A Participative Soundscape Study. In 1998, he co-founded the UK and Ireland Soundscape Community, affiliated with the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, and chaired Sound Practice (Dartington, 2001), the UK’s first conference dedicated to soundscapes. He has also contributed a sonic perspective to many urban place studies with the Academy of Urbanism.

John has collaborated with Rachel Gomme, Yvonne McGuinness, Alice Oswald, Alaric Sumner, Tony Thatcher, Lawrence Upton, Tony Whitehead (RSPB), Louise K. Wilson, Suiji Okada, and comedian Mark Kelly, and is a member of Blind Ditch.

Out now on Zoomin' Night: Permian Period

https://zoominnight.bandcamp.com/album/permian-period

eamon sprod explores re-contextualised found sounds and tactile gestures formed into dynamic, psycho-geographical compositions inspired by discarded things, found things, crawling around in the dirt, junk, the ground, rocks, dust, wind, walking aimlessly, scratchy things, decay and most if not all the things he hears and sees.

More than simply documenting a given site, tarab is interested in a direct engagement with our surrounds, teasing out half narratives, visceral sensation, false leads and heightened awareness.

Compositeur et performer issu du courant de la musique concrète, Christophe Ruetsch travaille une matière sonore provenant principalement de prises de sons, de séquences synthétiques, de sampling, archives et autres fragments sonores qu’il malaxe et recombine allègrement sur scène ou en studio en s’intéressant particulièrement au jeu en live.

Son travail musical et sonore est vaste, allant de créations pour le concert, au spectacle vivant (danse, théâtre, marionnettes, formes pluridisciplinaires... ), en passant par des installations sonores et des pièces radiophoniques. 
Il collabore avec de nombreux metteurs en scène et chorégraphes pour la création de musiques de scène.
En mai 2008, il est invité à participer à une résidence à Tchernobyl. A partir de la collecte de phonographies dans la zone contaminée, il créée Atomic Radio 137  pour les Ateliers de Création Radiophonique (France Culture), Zona en 2010 (commande de l’État et du GRM) et Atomic Radio 137 live en 2011.
Il crée en 2018 hEARt, installation sonore sous casques réalisée à partir de prise de sons cardiaques.

Il est aussi un des membres de l’IRE Ensemble avec Hélène Breschand (harpe & effets), Philippe Foch (percussions), Franck Vigroux (synthétiseurs analogiques) et Kasper Toeplitz (basse électrique et ordinateur), tous instrumentistes compositeurs, interprètes ou improvisateurs de musique électronique.

Proyecto realizado por María Emilia Pérez (Venezuela), que surge a mediados del 2016 cuya propuesta trabaja con medios electroacústicos, composición asistida con computador y objetos sonoros. Las intenciones creativas se orientan a la búsqueda de sonoridades de diversas culturas asiatícas y latinoamericanas, su cosmovisión y tradiciones.
