The “woollen sound bone” is a tactile sound sculpture. By touching or holding it you can hear and feel soundscapes and music. Everybody will experiences it different? We are all “aural diverse”; young, old, different sensory-abled, blind or using a hearing device, etc. We all have our own “multi sensorial hearing perspective”. We sense the surroundings in a personal way. Ricardo Huisman invites you to experience the “woollen sound bone” and a “sense walk”.  Join this inclusive workshop!

‍

What are we going to do?

- experience “the bone conductor” or “woollen sound bone” and share this with the others. What did you hear and feel?

- short introduction about bone conduction and Ricardo Huisman's artistic research.

- talk about soundscapes: how do you normally navigate through the surroundings? What are your favourite sounds at home and outside?  What sounds do you remember from past?

- “sense walk” together outside, with some (simple) exercises, or directions to attune our ears and senses.

- small break for a drink and have a talk about what you experienced.

- discussion: what did you discovered during the workshop? There is time and material: drawing/writing paper, pencils, etc. including tactile materials to create something your own: you can draw, write, collage reactions or write a poet, your personal sense story.

‍

For all ages (children guided by adult). Are you using hearing aid or are you sight disabled? No worries! Everybody is welcome!

Ricardo Huisman (1960) Amsterdam based sound image artist, soundscape composer, artistic researcher and art teacher. He creates interactive multi sensory tactile sonic installations. The “touchsound” produced by woollen sound sculptures includes soundscapes that reveal multiple associative dimensions, bodily sensations that could give rise to new spaces for imagination and knowledge. In playful ways Huisman invites an inclusive public to interact within his art projects and research. He aims rethinking ways we listen and act in our sound habitats.
