The Sound Culture Audio Laboratory is a professional residential symposium for practitioners and theorists in the Sonic Arts and Sound Design fields. The Laboratory will feature peer to peer workshops, seminars and performances and will foster an informal but informative atmosphere, maximising dialogue and exchange.

The Laboratory will focus on the theme of Sound and the Environment and examine issues of location and locatedness; sonic immersion; spatial and geo-spatially located audio; approaches to acoustic ecology; the relationship of the body to sound and spatial memory; the relationship of natural and cultural soundscapes with acoustic patrimony; and relationship of physical sites to oral histories.
