This week’s podcast questions how identity is coded into the battlecries shouted by characters in video games. By exploring the tools that sound studies provides to understand the various dynamics of identity, this podcast aims to provoke a conversation about how identity is encoded within the design of games. The all too invisible intersection between sound, identity, and code reveals the ways that sound can help explain the interior logic of the games and other digital systems. Here, Milena Droumeva and Aaron Trammell discuss how femininity and sexuality have been coded within game sounds and consider the degree to which these repetitive and objectifying tropes can be resisted by players and designers alike.
Milena Droumeva is an Assistant Professor of Communication at Simon Fraser University specializing in mobile technologies, sound studies…

18:00 PÜNKTLICH!!!!
The participants in the SoundBoxes Workshop will present an immersive, surround-sound experience inspired by the works of Alvin Lucier, Pauline Oliveros, John Grzinich, David Tudor, Gordon Monahan and others, performed in a darkened room for an eyes-closed audience. In the piece, a swarm of individual, simple sound sources such as tones and textures are modulated and moved through the space physically by the performers to create a complex sonic environment. Delicate and intimate sounds pass closely near the bodies and ears of the audience, while stronger, more extreme sounds occur at the edges of the space to give a sense of the architecture of the room and the objects in it.
PLEASE ARRIVE AT 18:00 SHARP FOR THIS PERFORMANCE!
And then stick around for IPAs and a chance to demo some of theMacumbista.net

The colour of sound: green
I posted the previous series which included the Primary colours and look forward to future episodes on the secondary colours. Love the way the sound reflects the colour complexity.
Courtesy to Sounds Like Noise for this interesting series and posts.
A short sample of Green.
To hear the full track go to the Soundproof website.
The second series of The Colour of Sound has commenced on Radio National’s Soundproof program. The first episode in the series is Green.
Green charts the story of the German scientist and philosopher David Gottlob Diez as he deliberates on the connection between sound, the planets, and colour. Diez connected green with Venus, its aurora shrouding the planet in a veil of celestial static.
Tune in to the rest of the ROY-G-BIV colour and sound spectrum over the next few weeks.

As Loud As I Want To Be: Gender, Loudness, and Respectability Politics
Really enjoying this series and watch the video, it underlines the point.
Editor’s Note: Here’s installment #2 of Sounding Out!‘s blog forum on gender and voice! Last week we hosted Christine Ehrick‘s selections from her forthcoming book; she introduced us to the idea of the gendered soundscape, which she uses in her analysis on women’s radio speech from the 1930s to the 1950s. In the next few weeks we’ll have SO regular writer Regina Bradley, with a look at how music is gendered in Shonda Rhimes’ hit show Scandal,A.O. Roberts with synthesized voices and gender, Art Blake with his reflections on how his experience shifting his voice from feminine to masculine as a transgender man intersects with his work on John Cage, and lastly Robin James with an analysis of how ideas of what women should sound like have roots in Greek philosophy.
As I planned for SO!’s February forum, I wondered about my own connection to the…

Maria Marzaioli
Thanks to Ekho – Women in Sonic Art for this post.
Maria Marzaioli is a Musician/Composer MariaMarzaioliSoundcloud
“As an artist I am interested in sonic and musical representations of the landscape around us – both the natural and built environment. Through sound, my work seeks engagement with the phsyical world in alternative ways and encourages people to explore and (re)evaluate their relationship with place and space differently.”
Submission to ‘Ekho:: Toward a Repetitive Sounding of Difference’
“This work was conceived as a score, giving a set of instructions to be followed for a journey of your own choosing that is to be repeated on the hour, every hour for 24 hours. The piece of music ’24 hours in 12 minutes’ is created from the recordings made on the journey I chose, following those instructions.”
“The piece is made up of multiple acts of repetition, physically walking the same path repeatedly and recording at the same places for set durations of time…
