Écoutez Catherine Guastavino et Romain Dumoulin nous parler du projet de recherche Ville sonore (Sounds in the City) dans une entrevue réalisée à l’émission Les Années lumières de Radio-Canada durant le 85ème congrès de l’Association francophone pour le savoir (ACFAS).
par Christopher Trudeau
Dans le cadre du 85e congrès de l’ACFAS (Association francophone pour le savoir) tenu à l’université McGill, notre équipe a présenté « La ville sonore : vers un design sonore urbain » le mercredi 10 mai lors d’une activité grand public de l’événement Science-moi!
Plus qu’une simple introduction aux ambiances sonores, ce fut une opportunité de démontrer deux projets au grand public.
Notre collaborateur Romain Dumoulin a récemment été de passage à Radio-Canada pour discuter de l’impact de l’hiver sur le paysage sonore de Montréal.

Special thanks to all of our workshop organizers: Catherine Guastavino (principal investigator, McGill University), Romain Dumoulin (acoustician and demo lead), Kaisa Tikkanen (Goethe-Institut Montréal), Marthe Boucher (City of Montréal).
We wish to thank the City of Montréal, Goethe-Institut Montréal, IPLAI, CIRMMT, McGill Innovation Week, and McGill’s Dean of Arts for their support in our workshop.
This is a guest post by Dr Jochen Steffens, Postdoctoral Researcher from the Technical University of Berlin, Germany.
I was pleased to accept an invitation from Sounds in the City to speak at their workshop on the potential of water sounds to improve soundscape quality in urban environments. In particular, I was excited to interact with practitioners who might have the potential and creativity to immediately realize some of my ideas based on my research with water features in the urban context.
Want to learn more about soundscapes and how they apply to the city? Here are two recent, well written articles we recommend.
