We provide an elaborate programme of documented listening tasks, site-specific interventions, small installations and training of basic skills, like recording, use of softwares and critical listening that all of our interns are asked to take part in.
This is strictly and only for the benefit of our guests to give them the opportunity to concentrate on important details that we normally take for granted or never have the time for to learn or just need feedback while there is no one around. We consider the lab’s internship as a safe space experience were you can focus on the basics and the most important details. It is about you taking actively a time out to gain knowledge outside the box. You want to write an essay on spatial practices? You are as much welcome as with a composition for spatial audio with a half-sphere of loudspeakers. You want to discuss your field recordings, or work on site-specificity in VR or R? In any case, you are most welcome.
