Immersed in the audio-visual environment, the audience will experience the diversity of listening cultures from different regions around the world. The installation presents recordings of ambisonic sound and 360-video made in Riverside (USA), São Paulo (Brazil), Moscow (Russia), Pune (India) and Mannheim (Germany) by Paulo Chagas. Sound Imaginations reflects on listening habits and techniques, along with the cultural and historical conditions related to them.

Paulo C. Chagas is Professor of Music at UC Riverside’s Department of Music.

An artist talk will be held on March 5, 2020 at 6pm.

This project was developed with the support of UC Riverside’s Center for Ideas and Society. Special thank you to: Georgia Warnke, Ph.D. (Director), Katharine Henshaw (Associate Director)
