Registration is mandatory as seating is limited, and is on a first-come first-served basis (30-35 seats): Workshop on auditory illusion - Registration form
Description
This workshop addresses auditory illusions, ambiguities and organization in a musical context.
We consider the limits of the auditory system, how they can be pushed to create effects altering our perception of space, pitch and rhythm or timbre, and examine case studies in contemporary music. Multisensory illusions (e.g. visual recalibration of auditory localization) will also be considered.
We are interested in contrasting various perspectives on the topic, including psychoacoustical investigations, compositional paradigms, technological advances, informal explorations, etc...
