Sound Art+

Renowned composers, directors and writers were invited to create symphony works, sound installations and radio plays for babies, toddlers, the marginalized and new publics. We enabled experts to create particular programs for specific vulnerable groups, such as sound connections between a mother and her newborn or prematurely born baby in an incubator; we engaged with the idea of using music in preparation for medical examinations and interventions, or for rehabilitation of certain developmental impairments (especially speech impairments); we devised tools for improving access to sound content for the deaf and hearing-impaired, etc. From documentaries to festivals, this section presents materials and results from our efforts to go beyond what is conceived as Sound Art, both in form and organization as well as in the target public and delivery.
