Spectres & Camouflage

Our #justnoisepod team traveled to #Cambridge to interview Dr Fiona Smyth @Spectres_Camo about #silence, room acoustics... and the "gravitas of seaweed" 😉 - stay tuned for an upcoming episode, and get her book while you can! #PistolsInStPauls @ManchesterUP

#GoodMorningDublin Michael is going to be telling us 'whats the story' behind this Noel & #LiamGallagher reunion and a history of #Oasis. Muraed @c_craic spoke with Fiona Smyth, author of Pistols in St. Paul's. Fiona Smyth is an Associate Professor at #UCD. Tune in!

Join the International Student Challenge Problem 2024 - This year’s challenge: Localize free-ranging echolocating dolphins using real acoustic data from underwater hydrophones. 🌊🐬 Submit by November 15, 2024 to win cash prizes! Complete details at doi.org/10.1121/AT.202…

This was great fun to review - I’d very much recommend Fiona Smyth’s latest work, “Pistols in St Paul's: Science, Music, and Architecture in the Twentieth Century”! #sound #acoustics #architecture #building #stpauls @StPaulsLondon #cathedral #music #science #london #history

Publishing in September, this is a ground-breaking account of the British scientists and architects who pioneered acoustics in the 20th century. Perfect for fans of @juderogers, @KateMolleson, @alexrossmusic & @LeahBroad. 'Pistols in St Paul's' is available to pre-order now.

It's almost out in the world!

From Zurich to Cambridge, London to Amsterdam, its been an incredible summer of research, conferences, and writing for the Spectres and Camouflage Project. Funded by @ERC_Research You can learn more about our work, and our team at: spectres-camouflage.com

We loved spending time with friends of the #SpectresAndCamo project during our panel at #EASST4S2024. @ERC_Research Brilliant discussions around the evolution of silencing and camouflaging, from the social to the technological. @STSeasst

Coming back from presenting on the theme of #silence and marginalisation in Ireland, in #EASST4S2024 yesterday. A truly inspiring panel with @ameliamcconv @AmyFahy and Sadhbh Crean, organised by @FairyTaleSci @Spectres_Camo @ucddublin

We had a lovely time visiting the @hpslib and discussing the silent environment through the ages. Thanks again to their brilliant staff for all of their help!

It's been a great start to the @PossibilitySN Conference at @Cambridge_Uni. We shared new work on possibilities created by acoustic measurement and control, from spectres of war to revolutions on the dance floor. Tomorrow we visit the @ChuArchives. Stay tuned 👀

Can't wait for @PossibilitySN Conference next week at @Cambridge_Uni. I'll be sharing brand new research on silencing technologies, bone records, hidden clubs, and the infamous sound system wars. #ScienceHistory #ColdWar #PossibilityStudies See y'all soon. 💀 @Spectres_Camo

More brilliance from @archsci10. Check out her chapter "Mysterious Changes in Molecular Structure: Pragmatics, Poetics and Designing for Musical Tone" So cool. ✨

Delighted to share the chapter, "Mysterious Changes in Molecular Structure: Pragmatics, Poetics and Designing for Musical Tone" by @archsci10. Check out Sound, Music and Architecture below! #_" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">luigiboccherini.org/2024/06/10/sou…

We had an incredible time at the 8th International Congress on Construction History in Zurich! #8ICCH @archsci10 discussed gave a brilliant talk, "The Tacit Turn: Designing the Silent Laboratory". For more info on her talk and the project check out: spectres-camouflage.com

Book chapter now out in the world - and in very illustrious company... #_" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">luigiboccherini.org/2024/06/10/sou…

The quantification of bodies, senses, and experience did not begin with surveillance capitalism but can be traced back to mathematical and statistical techniques of the 19th century. thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-two-centur…

We cannot wait to discuss the exchange and transformation of ideas across disciplines at #Ecsite2024 What does an "unworldly laboratory" have to do with the ecological design movement? Sound as art, science, and cultural revolution are all up for discussion this Thursday!

A small device senses sounds using a spiderweb-like design—a strategy that could lead to chip-size microphones that are less affected by thermal noise. Read more about this research presented at #ASA186 in Physics Magazine: physics.aps.org/articles/v17/89

Our research assistant Paula Arning had a brilliant time visiting the @BASF archive. Thank you to their team for their invaluable support in accessing documents from the 1930s. Your help was critical in continuing to uncover the history and evolution of #AnechoicTechnology.
