This two day workshop with Owen Chapman from Mobile Media Lab, Montreal, will use mobile sound technology to explore the complexities of situated nostalgia. Participants will collaborate in the production of a sonic representation of Morecambe, UK, including an online soundmap that reflects the town's past, present and future. This will be contrasted with a soundmap and other interactive media produced from present-day recordings of the 1976 Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Participants will be introduced to technologies of audio field recording, soundmapping and remixing, including the custom iOS soundmapping app AudioMobile and locative audio remixing application Echoscape.

Participants may attend both days or just the first day of this workshop.
