[Sursound] Soundscape recordings in Paris, Berlin and Montreal
Dear sursound group, With Ghent University, we are going to perform combined binaural and ambisonics recordings at a number of locations within Paris, Berlin and Montreal. These recordings will be used for research and education on urban architecture and acoustic design. The idea is that the locations for recordings are selected in a systematic way, on the basis of the soundscape that can be experienced at those locations. For this, we need the help from people familiar with those cities. So if you live or work in either Paris, Berlin or Montreal, you would do us a big favor by filling in a very small and fun survey (only one form, takes two minutes at most). Below you can find the links for the different cities: Paris: http://urban-soundscapes.org/sites/survey.php?city=paris Berlin: http://urban-soundscapes.org/sites/survey.php?city=berlin Montreal: http://urban-soundscapes.org/sites/survey.php?city=montreal Many thanks!

[Sursound] Soundscape hackathon in Ghent
Dear sursound members, I would like to draw your attention to a soundscape hackathon that we are organizing in April next year in Ghent, Belgium. We invite teams of up to 4 people to compete in (developing software for) manipulating spatial audio, with the goal to redesign and improve the soundscape at selected urban open spaces worldwide. Teams are provided with high-quality immersive audiovisual recordings (360-degree video and spatial audio), and are asked to alter the spatial audio recordings by adding or suppressing sounds originating from various directions, and subsequently to design a series of scenarios that present an improvement of the soundscape based on the original recordings. Participants can make use of VR headsets and workstations, as well as of the Iosono wave field synthesis system in De Krook for presentation. The winning team will receive a cash award of 1500 euro. The 3-day event will take place in De Krook, the media centre of Ghent, and is organized as a satellite event of the Urban Sound Symposium. You can find more information on the website of the event: https://urban-sound-symposium.org/hackathon/ The deadline for registration is January 31. Feel free to pass this invitation on to colleagues and/or students! Best regards, Bert De Coensel -- Prof. Dr. Ir.
