Researchers will explore ways that sound can deepen our understanding of the environment at the 2018 International Ecoacoustics Congress.
The four-day conference will feature research presentations, live performances, scientific workshops and immersive installations, attracting scientists and international artists.
The event is part of an exciting portfolio of collaborations across the creative arts and environmental sciences at Griffith University that are investigating the creative and scientific possibilities of acoustic ecology.
The keynote speakers include Italian composer and ecoacoustics researcher David Monacchi, who has conducted field research in the world’s remaining areas of undisturbed primary equatorial forest.
The creative program features Dr Ros Bandt, one of Australia’s leading experimental composers, who has forged a unique career as a designer, multi-instrumentalist and curator of acoustic spaces.
The congress is organised by the Australian chapter of the International Society of Ecoacoustics, and is co-hosted in collaboration with Griffith University and Queensland University of Technology.
The congress offers a highly interdisciplinary program
