The workshop, open to young people aged 16 to 20, aimed to offer theoretical insights and practical knowhow related to listening processes, amplification and recording, field recording, basic audio editing and spatialization, physicality and spatial qualities of sound as well as creation of spatial sound artworks. During the workshop, Davor Sanvincenti focused on the theoretical and conceptual work sessions, thought processes, listening exercises and psychoacoustics. Hrvoje Nikšić focused on the basics of physics and spatial sound features, introducing our participants to different types of microphones, recording devices and techniques, as well as sound editing and manipulation. Workshop participants were students of the Academy of Fine Arts, Music Academy and Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing: Hana Hostić, Anja Karakaš, Luka Pekas and Andrija Peršun. During the workshop they jointly created a spatial-sound work which they premiered at the experimental sound event Gibanja.
