Tunograpiya: Insights on the Urban Soundscape as an Interdisciplinary Arts Practice through Digital Technologies
Date & Time
Monday, July 27, 2026, 10:50 AM - 12:20 PM
Description
In February 2025, a college student organization of undergraduate music education students embarked on an interdisciplinary project called Tunograpiya, an immersive sonic soundscape project by a collective of musicians, music educators, visual artists, urban planning advocates, and tech developers. As part of the University of the Philippines' 2025 Arts and Culture Festival, the project was conceptualized to create sonic experiences to immerse participants in a loop of ambient tracks available in GPS-tagged locations around the greenery of the Academic Oval, with each resultant sonic composition unique to a user's walking experience. The project will be discussed as an example of interdisciplinary art practice by Music Education students and their student organization faculty adviser, covering their roles and experiences in the project. Each member will also share on their philosophy of music education as pre-service and in-service teachers vis a vis the sonic arts as an object, experience, composition, and performance, visual arts, digital technologies, natural sciences, among many other fields.The analysis of the project in retrospect will be discussed by the panel members, as threaded along digital technologies in the music classroom (Kirkman, 2009) and in ethnomusicology (Solis in Ruthman and Mantie, 2017) and the growing sonic practices in the Philippines (Yraola, 2020).
