FEES OUT LOUD!

Tuition Fees Meeting - what happened? An AA Radio report on the fees meeting between AA students and AA director Brett Steele, President of AA Council Alex Lifschutz, and AA Accounts Manager Steve Livett on 17.02.2010. The students represented various parts of the school including Foundation, Intermediate school, and PhD. The topic of the discussion was the rise in next year's tuition fees, in the context of fees rising consistently each year. This radio talk show summary has been written and produced by AA students and Student Forum members, Camille Steyaert (3rd year) and Frederik Bo Bojesen (3rd year),  in discussion with other students who attended the meeting as well. Please note the following corrections:  "one-off costs" rather than "on cost"; "decrease of £20" rather than "increase of £20"; "the meeting was purely informational" rather than "the meeting was purely informal".

Headphones: Sound Without Space

Curated for Architectural Association Independent Radio by Charles Stankievech. Part of 1 of 3 in the series Sound + Space: Headphones | Architecture | Transmission -------->   LISTEN TO THE COMPILATION  <--------- Headphones are the norm.  The new addiction replacing smoking, headphones frame the head and the perception of most urbanites today in some form or other. Whether commuting with an iPod, exercising to the radio, talking on a hands-free cellphone… or actually listening to music, headphones create a mobile and continually changing architecture that follows the listener, wrapping them in a private bubble.  As the world rapidly interfaces, overlaps and confronts the boundaries of Private and Public through technologies and legislation, headphones become a quiet and invisible site of investigation.  The audio tracks in this collection attempt to define a body of work that is fundamentally connected to the phenomenon of headphone listening.  Some work was made specifically for headphones such as Bernhard Leitner or Janet Cardiff, other work was not originally composed for headphones, but when played over headphones a unique experience of the work is created—sometimes against the original intention of the artist or at least as a surprising by-product.  While the most common thread between the works is the unique spatialisation of headphones, other attributes of headphone listening—such as intimacy and privacy—are also explored and included. Headphones: Sound Without Space stems from the research consolidated in “From Stethoscopes to Headphones: An Acoustic Spatialization of Subjectivity” in Leonardo Music Journal (MIT Press). Vol. 17. 2007. Image: Sezione di orecchio, Ex Optimis Neotreriocrum Operibus  1804.  Archivi di San Servolo. This compilation should be listened to with headphones. #
