  At Home in Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles Festival Neighborhood (2021) author(s): Edda Bild, Daniel Steele, and Catherine Guastavino published in: Journal of Sonic Studies
  Urban festivals have traditionally been considered incompatible with residential areas because of their contrasting sonic characters, where the sounds of festivals are treated as a nuisance for residents. However, the neighborhood dedicated to housing festivals in downtown Montreal is also the home of diverse groups of residents and workers. Based on a diary and interview study with residents of the Quartier des spectacles festival neighborhood, and building upon research on touristification, festivals as third places, and soundscape, we explored what it meant to be at home in a festival neighborhood, focusing on the sonic experiences of locals. Findings provided a more nuanced portrayal of everyday life in a dense, lively urban environment transformed through touristification. Residents do not consider the sounds of festivals as a primary source of annoyance; on the contrary, these sounds inspire them to engage with their neighborhood, suggesting a more porous living experience between indoor and outdoor spaces. Drawing on the characterization of other imagined residents by our participants, we conclude by introducing the idea of soundscape personas as a practical method in participatory decision-making for the future of the neighborhood.

  Stream your domestic appliances on p-node.org: fridge, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, coffee machine, etc. You can also use gardening tools. I’ll mix them and re-stream the mix on ANTIVIRUS. (As you know, we can easily mix different streams on the p-node website by changing the volume levels and streaming the mix at the end.)

  Editorial - Sound at Home 1: Territory, Materiality and the Extension of Home (2021) author(s): Mette Simonsen Abildgaard published in: Journal of Sonic Studies
  For this special issue of the Journal of Sonic Studies, we invited authors to consider sound at home from a range of perspectives: sound at home as the hum of appliances, the babble of water pipes, the chatter of media, and the creaking of a wooden floor; sounds that seep in from other homes and from the world outside – traffic, music, shouting, disconcerting sounds that stand out, and sounds that go unheard in their familiarity.
