Led by Dr Marcus Leadley and James Bulley, Goldsmiths University, London – David Rogers and Professor Adrian Newton, Dorset.

An encounter with the environment that’s focused on sound and listening. A circular walk from West Bay to Bridport and back. Specialist field recording equipment will be provided and you will seek out ‘lost’ and ‘hidden’ sounds – from inside objects, underwater sounds and electromagnetic sounds. Following an afternoon workshop session, focusing on sound preparation, you will use your recordings to help realise the Lost and Found Symphony, a soundscape composition to be produced during a live, improvised performance at 6.pm in the Salt House.

The Being Human is a festival of the humanities being held between 17th –25th November 2017. The festival is led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy.
