A workshop on territorial audio branding.
Since more than five decades the ways sound affects the perception of space and the sense of place have been at the center of discussions, researches and art practices. Philosophers, ethnologists, artists and musicians among others have dealt with the relations between sound and geographies.
There are many possible ways to tackle this subject and soundscaping practices are at the top of the list, but one perspective we cannot ignore comes not from artistic production but from the commercial and marketing field: audio branding.
To better understand it we decided to investigate the fundamentals of audio branding, its tools and its applications, with a question in mind: how could it be used to explore new readings of a territory?
From this context comes Geographies and audio identities.
Together with Filipe Gomes, Daniele Prina and Fabio Di Santo we will explore case histories and best practices.
What is audio branding? how sound design and marketing tools can be used to explore/enhance/question/narrate a place?
The workshop aims to make participants familiar with the use of sound in territorial and community based projects dealing with the construction of local identity.

_ Intro to the audio branding : what is it?
