Jon Wozencroft's 'Sound Seminar"

Jon Wozencrofts 2nd Sound Seminar Taking place at Theme Studios,

9th May 2024

In a darkened room, each session follows a theme and explores the interplay between storytelling, composition, and experimentation. An echo of the collective cinema experience, whilst being avowedly personal and involving.

Jon Wozencroft developed his sound seminars in the late 1980s as a means

of highlighting the potential of sound-related research and practice in art

and design education. Primarily, the seminars promote the art of listening

and seek to rebalance the dominant bias of visual culture which favours the

eye over the ear. Listening both enhances one’s perceptual awareness and

creates an oasis away from 24/7 non-stop media. The seminars underline

the power of sound and music as catalysts for change in a context in which

recorded music has been progressively devalued in the digital environment.

Drawing upon forty years of working in music publishing and performance,

Wozencroft moves the audience between and beyond genre classifications

and makes connections where past present and future come alive in the

moment.
