The article is an attempt to present and analyse an artistic project carried out in Wrocław’s public space in May 2010 by Maciej Bączyk and Paweł Romańczuk in the form of sound installations entitled „Backstreet sounds.” The authors intended the installations, accompanying the Contemporary Polish Music Festival, not only to be a form of artistic expression but also to provoke the audience — passer-by — with audio references to the history of the city and its soundscape. Thus the installations became a form of manifestation, the aim of which was to interest the audience in the problem of the city audiosphere. In interpreting this event, it was important to take into account the research conducted during the project by cultural studies students of the University of Wrocław based on questionnaires, interviews and observation of the participants’ behaviour. The results of this research seem to be interesting for the formulation of broader conclusions concerning the relations between people and their sound environment.

A repressive model of music reception, established by the institutional culture of the 19th century, was the main factor that determined the way of thinking about a piece of music and rules for musical perception in the philosophical tradition. The sensual experience of music, where creativeness and perception are viewed as active and body-related acts, was particularly neglected. The autonomy of music (regarding it as a musical work of art) was achieved at the expense of losing the understanding that an individual’s musical activity is a derivative of their existential (as defined by M. Merleau-Ponty) engagement in reality. Maurice Merleau-Ponty may well be one of the major 20th century philosophers to contribute to the revaluation of the issue of corporeality in cultural tradition. The idea of corporeality as an aspect of perception creates new opportunities for analysing music reception; it proves to be a starting point for a new way of thinking about music in the context of its relation with the concepts of nature and culture.

The article raises the issue of sound guides. The starting point in our considerations are the two crucial concepts proposed in the seventies of the twentieth century: soundscape studies by R. Murray Schafer as well as Hildegard Westerkamp’s project of soundwalks. Nowadays sound guides are more and more interesting. They show us humans’ subjective evaluation and listening of places which sound attractive. They invite their readers to follow the described aural trails by themselves, sensitise the ears to environmental sounds so that they even become a form of an auditory workshop. In the present-day Polish soundscape studies literature one can find references to the concept of sound guides. The article discusses some of them and presents the idea of an alternative sound guide of Dzierżoniów.

The idea of acoustic ecology emerged in the sixties of the twentieth century with the work of Raymond Murray Schafer and his school of soundscape studies. The starting point was the concern for the sound environment resulting from the sense of threat from progressive civilization changes and the increase of noise. In his project work, Schafer gave emphasis to education as well as to the development of ecological acoustic design. What was another important element of the program was the research activity aimed at, among others, documenting and analysing contemporary landscapes. The ecological importance of this research arises from increasing social awareness about the cultural value of the sound environment.

This article is concerned with the presence of sounds and phonic rituals in the tradition of commemoration. Commemoration expressed by sounds is a particularly vivid and full of expression experience of memory. In phonic commemoration rituals sound experience seems to be as essential as time experience. Direct reception and perception of sound is connected with a particular, specific moment in time. There are many kinds of sound experience that are present in various forms of commemoration rituals. Musical phenomena (such as songs, bugle calls, hymns), but also sound phenomena (for example bells, sirens) as well as silence can be pointed out here. The principal part of the presented article contains a discussion of some of these phenomena within the context of contemporary Polish tradition of remembrance. In this context, those forms of commemoration that are associated with national martyrdom, wars and uprisings, merit special attention.

This article is concerned with the importance for urban studies of the role of the sonic environment in making the dwelling space familiar, developing a sense of belonging and building a community. We analyze three selected interviews with Wroclaw residents conducted within a project on the audiosphere and the soundscape of Wroclaw. The analysis attempts at determining what sounds our respondents described as specific for their place of residence, and what emotions, meanings and values were connected with this soundscape. Our study reveals an active role played by acoustic phenomena in the process of domesticating. R.M. Schafer’s conception of soundscape and B. Latour’s actor-network theory are the theoretical background for our analysis.
