Background

The Sound of Group Genius Sessions are returning! After a lengthy hiatus, we return with renewed intent and enthusiasm to delve into the emerging practice of sonic facilitation and how sound design can support and enhance group creativity and collaboration.

Join hosts Todd and Daisy in an in-depth exploration of what goes into building a Sonic Facilitation Practice, covering inquiries such as:

• How can one get to know a group’s sound sensitivities and musical tastes?
• What considerations go into creating sonically attuned environments?
• What are the practices and habits that help facilitators build and curate playlists to draw from in moments of creative emergence?

Whether you are a seasoned sound facilitator or simply curious about this emerging field, join us as we jam together on the art, science, and possibilities of soundscaping collaboration.
