Listening with CRiSAP #18 - Publications 2

CRiSAP (Creative Research in Sound Arts Practice, UAL) celebrates its 20th anniversary with 20 unique episodes for Resonance Extra.

Since 2005, CRiSAP has pioneered new approaches to practice and theory by exploring sound and listening in relation to the environment, gender, technology, feminism, activism, conflict, text, pedagogy and voice. For Resonance Extra, CRiSAP members and friends, past and present, host a range of discussions and soundworks that cover key themes and areas of research across art, performance, symposia, publishing, curation, archives, education and more.

This episode explores publishing with and about sound, as text and also as more than text: expanding the definition of publishing beyond text and language into a sonic dimension and thinking the relationship of words and sounds beyond books and articles.

The conversation begins with a discussion on our motivations, habits and practices of writing about and with sound. Noticing the lack of words to make listening accessible and feeling compelled to develop that relationship.

We present how we write and when we write, and introduce publications that inspire us and that inform our own endeavours, and listen to works that open the idea of expanded publishing with sound to generate a listening practice with present and absent words.
