Sound design for automotive

Wednesday November 20, 2024 10:30 - 11:30 CET

Sound interaction plays a crucial role in the general user interface of a car, especially since the task of driving a car largely occupies the driver visually. Hence automotive sound design is generally intended to promote safety and optimize usability. As the automotive industry is in the transforming, shifting from combustion to electric propulsion, manual to autonomous driving and adding new mobility solutions, new use cases are arising including possibilities as well as challenges with regards to the need of sound interaction and design. This session will cover some background, the current use of sound design and sound interaction principles as well as upcoming trends and outlooks for sound interaction in automotive industry with a special focus on Volvo Cars implementation.

Decounstruction of Sound Good & Evil

Wednesday November 20, 2024 13:30 - 14:30 CET

3.09 - Conferences room

In Else Marie Pades electronic music works from 1950s-1980s we find a rare combination of compositional strategies: ‘concrete sound’ recordings ranging from the sounds of everyday life to prepared acoustical instruments, side by side with pure electronic sounds, all manipulated and structured through compositional operations of strict serialism – composed for radio broadcast or to be performed as theatrical performances or as multimedia sound installations.
We are at the birth of electronic avantgarde music and musical modernism in Europe beginning in the 1950s, where the horrors of 2. World War permeats everything including art and music – much like today. In this atmosphere of trauma and hope Else Marie Pade discovers sound wave interference that she uses as an aesthetic technique to create a sonic continuum with ‘good’ and ‘evil’ as its opposite poles.
With this palette of early electronic sound techniques, what does war sound like? Doomsday sound like? Or love and salvation sound like?

Sonic Travel

Wednesday November 20, 2024 15:30 - 16:30 CET

3.09 - Conferences room

How to compose out of pure movement using vertical dancers, a VR system, binaural sound, some programming and a lot of imagination? BEFORE notes and harmony, BEFORE rhythm and timbre. Pure movement in space as the beginning of composition.
A part of MicroGravity (an action performance by Sparrow Dance), Sonic Travel is a sound installation which visually links the blind with the deaf, and in which the two spaces they individually choreograph become renewed tools for the creation of music.
