🍳Cracking News for the Easter weekend.

We’re delighted to announce that Aurelia Soundworks has been awarded further funding by @aceagrams as part of the @dcmsgovuk Culture Recovery Fund.

This allows us to keep working on some exciting projects that will finally get to launch later this year.

Is anyone else finding themselves being gently wok

Is anyone else finding themselves being gently woken up by the sound of the dawn chorus at the moment? We’re enjoying the natural alarm clock shifting a few minutes earlier and earlier each day 🦉.

It has made us think back to a project we worked on for @daisyginsberg that exhibited just before the UK COVID-19 lockdown called #MachineAuguries.

Read on to find out more...

Light and sound pollution from our 24-hour urban lifestyle affects birds, who are singing earlier, louder, for longer, or at a higher pitch to communicate. But only those species that adapt survive. Machine Auguries questions how the city might sound with changing, homogenising, or diminishing bird populations.

Aurelia Soundworks worked with Daisy Ginsberg to conceive and sound design a multi-speaker installation which condenses a dawn chorus from 90 mins to 10 mins. During the piece a natural dawn chorus is taken over by artificial birds, their calls generated using machine learning. Solo recordings of chiffchaffs, great tits, redstarts, robins, thrushes, and entire dawn choruses were used to train two neural networks, pitted against each other to sing (a Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN).

Reflecting on how birds develop their song from each other, a call and response of real and artificial birds spatialise the evolution of a new language. Samples taken from each stage in the GAN’s training revealing the artificial birds’ growing lifelikeness.

Looking back to this time in 2018, we were working

Looking back to this time in 2018, we were working on @metmuseum Visitors to Versailles binaural sound experience. Three memories come up when we look at this picture taken at the recording location, Oldway Mansion in Devon:

🎙 It was an ace project to be part of, with a super creative team innovating the museum experience.

🎙 There was unexpected drama! The Met’s Editorial Manager got stuck in Dartington Hall as we perfectly timed location recording with the worst of the Beast From the East snow storm 🤷🏽

🎙 Chris looked considerably younger. He’d like to blame COVID-19 and the passage of time.

Time to update our risk assessments for location sound 👨🏻‍🔬

Nice to read a piece about a project we worked on

Nice to read a piece about a project we worked on a few years back @metmuseum #VisitorsToVersailles exhibition.

This work feels particularly relevant to now, when heritage & arts sites look towards a future of social distancing as the norm. Will we see more use of audio to aid this, dispersing the audience within cultural spaces and adding another dimension to visual objects?

Thanks @curatorialrc for the interesting blog and the shout out.

Here’s a look at the new 19 Crimes experience, which we enjoyed sound designing.

Using volumetric capture, actors are used as 3D assets which are triggered by scanning select 19 Crimes bottles.

Very excited about experiencing HELD this evening

Very excited about experiencing HELD this evening - a multi-sensory concert in a box created by the amazing @bittersuiteuk . It’s not often we finish an audio mix and then receive it back with a whole set of related goodies to make an at home sensory experience!
