Todo está en vibración. Listening and perception workshop
INSCRIPCIONES CERRADAS
Date: Friday, September 5, 2025
Time: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Venue: LABS
Free admission with prior registration
This in-person laboratory proposes a practical immersion in listening as a cultural construction and in the principles of vibration and resonance applied to the soundscape. Through listening walks, micro-experiments with everyday objects, and basic editing exercises, participants will be able to explore the relationship between body, territory, and sound.
The laboratory will be facilitated by León David Cobo Estrada, who holds a degree in Music from Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá (1997), a Master’s in Sonology from Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona in association with the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (2012), and a Master’s in Sound Art from the Universitat de Barcelona (2014). His career spans more than thirty years as a composer, producer, and sound artist, with solid experience in the design, execution, and follow-up of artistic and educational projects.
