Getting Involved
The OCS is open to anyone with an interest in discussing the local sound environment.
To schedule a meeting, please contact the OCS at: theofficeforcommonsound@gmail.com
The OCS provides a public platform for researching the sound of a particular place, for gathering different perspectives about this sound, and for working together to investigate how these processes might contribute to the design and planning of the public realm.
The OCS establishes open interfaces with people of all backgrounds and ages including:
Students
Faculty members
Residents
Tourists
Business owners
Community groups
Visiting specialists
It evolves through activities including:
Workshops
Sound walks
Reading groups
Field recordings
Listening sessions
Performances
Mapping exercises
Interviews
Surveys
The OCS organises and presents these forms as they emerge, questioning the performative (and public) possibilities of the office as an ambiguously defined space of production.
