The Place of Sound and the Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism bring you Part II of a two part collaboration. In episode 75, we’ll listen to two audio pieces created in Dr. Harris-Brandts’ course, ARCU 4300: Theories of Urbanism. This episode is all about thinking of architecture in unconventional spaces. We will learn about Aquatic and Speculative Sci-Fi Urbanism; what they mean, what they do, and how to create with different geographies in mind. Thanks for tuning in and happy listening!

Chloe Clubb, Sarah Cichon, Jessica So - “Aquatic Urbanism”

Denise Cenina, Shela Lamung, Yesha Patel - “Speculative Sci-fi Urbanism”

Join us for the first of two special episodes of The Place of Sound featuring a collaboration with the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism and Carleton University. In particular, we’ll listen to short audio projects developed in Dr. Harris-Brandt's fourth year "Theories of Urbanism" course on a variety of approaches to urban studies and the practice of urbanism more broadly. The assignment offered students an opportunity to address what they saw as important new theoretical avenues in urbanism by producing short audio projects along with research posters to visually communicate their findings.

This episode features two projects, one on the topic tactical urbanism, the other on playful urbanism. Don’t miss the voices of tomorrow’s urban thinkers!

Charbel Gangnon, Amos Stapper, Ikemefuna Onyiuke - “Tactical Urbanism”

Sianna PoMnger-Gentles, Stella Park, Aimerhodes Table - “Playful Urbanism

In this episode of The Place of Sound we hear sounds from Pico, Azores. Our host, Natalie, visited the Island of Pico this summer, going back to the place where her mother was born. We explore the deep importance of water to the land. We will also here from George Madruga and how he saved his brother's life from a spear fishing accident. Happy listening, and thank you for tuning in.

On this episode of The Place of Sound our host, Natalie Hall, explores “third spaces” and homemaking by diving into the archives of her first radio show, Easier Said Than Done. You will hear Natalie in conversation with co-host Emelie Cowan on the concept of home through explorations of coffee, "girl" hobbies, and homemaking.

This episode is also an exercise in shifting perspective. When Natalie and Emelie had these conversations they did so through the lens of their own show, which was creativity. However, without realizing, home/place is at the heart of all our discussions. If you want to hear more from Easier Said Than Done you can check out our archived episodes on CKCU! Happy listening.

On this episode of the place of sound, our host Natalie Hall speaks with co-founder of ultra-red, Dont Rhine. ultra-red is a worldwide collective of political organizers and sound artists. 2024 marks their 30th anniversary. most recently they published volume one of A Journal on Militant Sound Inquiry. Natalie speaks with Dont about the meaning of home, what organizing means to him, and his favourite sounds.

this is the second of a two part series featuring an interview with guest, Dr. Kate Lacey. Dr. Lacey is a professor of Media History and Theory in the School of Media, Arts, and Humanities at the University of Sussex. She convenes the university’s MA program in Media and Cultural Studies and has taught a range of courses across both the MA and BA programs. She also supervises students at both the MA and PhD level. Her work grows out of an interest in German history, and alongside the dozens of journal articles she’s published, she’s also authored two books of media history: the first is titled “Feminine Frequencies: Gender, German Radio and the Public Sphere, 1923-1945” (published by University of Michigan Press, 1996); and the second titled “Listening Publics: The Politics and Experience of Listening in the Media Age” (published by Polity Press: 2013). It’s this second book that forms the basis of the conversation you’ll hear in this episode.

during winter semester, 2024, Vincent Andrisani’s graduate level course “sound studies” read Dr. Lacey’s Listening Publics in its entirety. while working through the text, students took note of questions they’d ask her if presented with the opportunity to do so. this interview was conducted by Vincent Andrisani, and it makes use of questions generated by students of the course.

Part 1 of the interview can be heard in episode 69.
