State of the art

Spatial sound’s potential in the field for the promotion of tangible and intangible cultural heritage is strong. However, it still remains largely underexploited.

Description of the project

Sonotomia calls upon cultural and creative professionals in order to increase their awareness, interest and competencies in coproducing and exploiting cultural outputs/products with digital core elements that apply sounds. In particular, it promotes the application of digitalisation through 4DSOUND technology (software) to capture sounds of the tangible and intangible heritage (historical sites, sounds of nature of the specific locations, folk tradition, etc.). The soundscapes recorded in partner countries are modified to sound elements that will be published in a sound library repository available to any creative and cultural professional. These samples can inspire the creation of new music, educational activities, as well as research and innovation practice.

Heritage can be preserved and promoted through captured and manipulated sounds that can aspire future generations to value and cherish more the environment and culture around them.

Creative Europe’s support

Through extensive communication & dissemination activities, partners aim at poolling together a larger community of professionals in Europe around spacial sound. Links with national and European art & tech networks are being developed.
