A small change in the programme as Mark Edmonds has had to pull out at the last minute and will now hopefully be presenting at our Glasgow event in September instead.
We are very pleased to announce that at the 11th hour sound artist Craig Vear has agreed to present aspects of his recent work:
Superfield [Mumbai] - the see-hearing dimension of sound art
Craig Vear, composer and sound artist; Adelphi Research Institute, University of Salford
The programme has been updated below.

Sound as a Heritage Object
Hosted by the British Library Sound Archive, our second workshop event will focus on sound as a heritage artefact in its own right, and the speakers during the day have been invited to reflect this particular aspect of audio and heritage research.
