'ARCHAEOACOUSTICS: The Archaeology of Sound', Balzan, Malta
19 February 2014 - 19 February 2014
Malta
A conference entitled 'ARCHAEOACOUSTICS: The Archaeology of Sound' will take place from 19 to 22 February 2014 in Balzan, Malta.
Researchers around the globe are now taking note of unusual sound behaviour in the world's sacred places and earliest buildings, including Malta's megalithic temples. They progressively moved from wondering if ancient people tried to control sound to wondering why they did so.
The intent of this conference is to explore the importance of sound in the ancient world. It will take a multi-disciplinary look at early sonic/aural awareness and lithic sound behaviour, toward a better understanding of human and music development.For further information, please visit:
