SUMMARY:Bidston Observatory Artistic Research Centre: Bidston Observatory A
 rtistic Research Centre: SSTRAPP - Mentalizing Sound and Experimental Phan
 tasmogenesis
DESCRIPTION:For this SSTRAPP three day weekender\, Inigo and Maeve are join
 ed by Seth Ayyaz\, who is a sound artist\, composer-performer\, psychiatri
 st and transdisciplinary theorist. This is the first of two workshops surr
 ounding the publication of Ghost Semantics.\n\nThe title of the workshop i
 s based on an incredible piece that Seth wrote for the book\, which does a
  deep dive into listening\, crossing sound studies\, critical theory\, psy
 chology\, contemporary psychoanalysis\, neuroscience\, machine learning an
 d experimental sound art.\n\nSeth offers a way of thinking (and composing)
  listening through his proposal of a biopsychosocial systems approach to t
 he complexities of sound.\n\nIn the theory sessions in the morning\, led b
 y Seth and Inigo\, we'll present some of the key ideas in Seth's text\, in
 cluding explanations of what he means by the biopsychosocial condition of 
 listening\, mentalizing sound and experimental phantasmogenesis.\n\nWe wil
 l use our usual diagramming method for discussing and working through the 
 ideas.\n\nIn the afternoons Seth and Maeve will lead us on a practical exp
 loration of the sonic possibilities unleashed by these ideas in the presen
 ce of an ambisonic mic\, participant's mind-bodies\, and a mass of synthes
 izers\, pedals\, acoustic instruments\, digital sound software\, etc.\n\nA
  possible way into this practice will be offered through Seth Ayyaz' graph
 ic score Batroun Concrète\, which was commissioned for a residency at Bat
 roun Project Space in Lebanon.\n\nThe workshops will begin from what Seth 
 calls a 'not knowing' stance: listening becomes a tool to engage uncertain
 ty through curiosity\, to discover and disclose what objects and sounding 
 mind-bodies are capable of in the real-time presence of one another.\n\nBe
 sides respecting Bidston's accountability agreement (tldr don't be a dick)
  there are no requirements for attending\, everyone is welcome\, whatever 
 their knowledge\, abilities\, etc.\, and theory and practice should be acc
 essible for those with no background in them.\n\nWe recommend arriving at 
 Bidston sometime on Thursday so we're ready to start working on Friday mor
 ning\, but if you can't make it then you can still join later.\nIt is poss
 ible to participate with or without accommodation. We will do collective m
 eals together\, which is also an optional extra cost. The cost for partici
 pating in the workshop are as follows:\n\nWorkshop fee: On a sliding scale
  from £20-£30 per day\, or £60-£90 for the total three days.\nAccommod
 ation fee: On a sliding scale from £30-£40 per day\, or £90-£120 for t
 he total three days. If you're struggling financially\, e.g. on benefits\,

 per day\n\nIf you'd like to join\, please get in touch by sending an email
