Bike Sounds in the Urban Space of Wrocław The bike as one of very few vehicles produces the most natural sounds that don’t interfere with the city’s auditory environment. As the sounds are quiet and pleasant, they can easily be an antidote to the traffic noise. In Wrocław there are more and more people who tend to ride a bike, which is undoubtedly a consequence of an improved infrastructure. The bike sounds can be heard all over the urban space all day long. What makes Wroclaw unique is for sure the number of bike related initiatives, most of all the collective monthly bike rides during the so called Critical Masses and the annual Wrocław Bikers Fest. They give a chance to listen to a mosaic of bike-produced sounds as well as bike-dedicated music.

Janówka Village in the District of Augustów as an Instance of the Rural Soundscape in the Memory of its Inhabitants The article presents sounds of the Polish countryside illustrated by Janówka village in the district of Augustów, in the region of Podlasie. It describes the annual and family cycle with a particular emphasis put on sounds and includes changes to the rural soundscape that have taken place over several decades. Musical practices present in the phonosphere periodically, independently of the above mentioned cycles, are also an important part of the description. Beside the musical activity, the article describes sounds typical of the countryside, connected mainly with farming. Silence is another presented phenomenon – less and less common in our native soundscape.

The article inquires about the musical urban folklore in the repertoire of to ­ day’s street musicians in Wrocław and Poznań (Poland). Considering the lac of literature on urban folklore in the discussed cities, the author utilizes pri ­ marily self­produced sources. The material gathered during fieldwork in both cities (participant observation, data collection, interviews, photographs and recordings) is subsequently analyzed. To obtain a broader context, the article contains additional information about the folklore of Lviv (presentation based on literary works), Warsaw and Vienna (ethnographic fieldwork data). The article contains quotes from interviews with buskers.

The Practice of Deep Listening in the Urban Research. On the Soundscape of Saint Martin Street Project The article raises the issue of the use of sound based methods – including in particular the practice of the deep listening – in the research on urban cultural spaces. It posits the question of the status of the urban knowledge produced with regard to the auditive epistemologies. The considerations revolve around the assumption of the interconnection between the sonic, functional and socio-cultural dimension of the urban space. The article associates the practice of deep listening with the idea of critical engagement in urban research and with the approach of autoetnography. Its empirical basis are the results of the research project Soundscape of Saint Martin Street realized at the Institute of Cultural Studies and the Institute of Acoustics at Adam Mickiewicz University, in the academic year 2014/2015.

The paper is an attempt to identify the wide array of contexts and problems associated with the presence of sound in contemporary culture. These contexts are described using the most significant questions in given problematic fields. The main objective is to draw a map delineating the varied field of research on sound. In the paper, questions coexist related to philosophy, aesthetics, musico­ logy, anthropology, acoustics, ecology and architecture.

The first part of the article describes the sounds forming an integral part of On the Traces of Cracow’s European Identity in the Underground Tourist Trail in the Main Market Square with the author’s conception for the sonic exhibit. In the second part, these premises are confronted with their reception by the pub- lic. For this purpose, a survey was conducted among 100 Poles and 100 foreig­ ners who visited the exhibition in July. Respondents spoke positively about the exhibit’s audiosphere, which facilitated their feeling of travel back in time. The author writes about the challenges of reconstructing medieval city sounds – not just in terms of sonorous objects, but above all human voices. She concludes that despite difficulties, museums should continue their work on historical exhibit sonification.

Presentation and Anthropomorphization in the Scientific Discourse. The Case of Sonocytology The article focuses on the use sonification in hard sciences. Referring to works by Jonathan Sterne and Mitchell Akiyama, I will analyse strategies of auditory display in sonocytology in the context of translation in scientific discourse. The article aims to broaden Bruno Latour’s perspective on the visualisation and framing in the context of sound representation, which will enable me to analyse the process of creating a representation of an organism. Following the Sophia Roosth’s work on sonocytology I will focus on the categories of autonomy and agency, and on the process of animation of research objects.

Introduction to the issue about Digital Revolution in Music
EN
The article is a case study of visually representing the phenomenon of ‘music’ in a museum exhibition. For the purpose of this analysis, the Museum of Writ- ing and Kashubian-Pomeranian Music in Wejherowo (Muzeum Piśmiennictwa i Muzyki Kaszubsko-Pomorskiej w Wejherowie) is identified as the sole muse- um in Poland that includes the word ‘music’ in its official name. The problems described centre around two issues: definitions connected with the ethnic (re- gional) and thematic specificity of a museum collection in the region of Kashu- bia, and technical exhibition strategy in the context of ‘Kashubian-Pomeranian music’. The phenomenon of ‘music’ undergoes a process of reification at the museum exhibit, but it also remains a living phenomenon that integrates the local community owing to the museum’s active engagement in various forms of musical activity.

Taking into consideration the experience of the Museo del Paesaggio Sonoro in Riva presso Chieri (Turin, Italy), this article deals with the role of sound and music in a cultural environment, considering both the process of changing of traditional music and the issues of folk revival, in order to improve a sustaina- ble and non-nationalistic sense of belonging to a place and to raise awareness of the relevance of sound in human and non-human life. It also deals with the opportunity to join the existing digital networks of museums of musical in- struments, without affecting the museum’s distinctive features and those of the musical instruments it hosts.

In Paris in the first half of the 19th century, the social and urban changes were accompanied by the development of two basic sonic strategies: the first (represented by Berlioz, Musard, Liszt and others, who conquered the mass public in large concert halls) was aimed at competing with the ever more aggressive, modern city soundscape, while the second (represented among others by Chopin) relied on an intimate contact between the artist and listeners gathered in a modestly sized salon. The salon becomes a ‘microscope for ears’, and Chopin’s improvisations may be read as a stream of consciousness. Listening to those improvisations in half­darkness, receiving the sound with the entire body, and ascribing to the music a mission from ‘ideal’ worlds is testimony to certain ways of musical listening being maintained, and simultaneously a change in music’s position within the hierarchy of arts, as well as a crystallization of a modern social distinction that perspired in the disciplining of the listener’s body and constructing his or her class and environmental ‘sonic identity’.
