Sound UP – SOUNDING URBAN PLACES
As of January 2024, Soundtrackcity will be working within the Dutch-Swedish research project Sound UP (In full: Sounding Urban Places). In cooperation with esteemed partners as the lectorate Music, Education & Society of the Royal Conservatoire The Hague, Luleå University of Technology, Leiden University, I’M BINCK – the platform of and for The Hague’s Binckhorst and Kluster, we will be investigating how quality of life in urban areas can be improved by a well-considered artistically inspired (re)design of the sonic environment. We look forward to working together.
The Binckhorst
In the Netherlands, Sound Up focuses on the Binckhorst, an industrial area in The Hague that is being transformed into a mixed residential-working area.
On behalf of Soundtrackcity Renate Zentschnig will collaborate in the Binckhorst with Justin Bennett and Irene Ruiz Perez Canales of KC Sonologie and Sabrina Lindemann of I’m Binck.
This research project takes place in the framework of Horizon 2020 and JPI Urban Europe and is co-funded by Regieorgaan SIA, part of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).
