hydro.sound.26

The introductory workshop “hydro.sound.26” took place from 23–25 October 2026.
“hydro.sound.26” combines sound art, DIY electronics and experimental field research.
At the heart of the project is the collaborative construction of hydrophones – underwater microphones that make sounds beneath the water’s surface audible. Under guidance, the participants built their own hydrophones. Afterwards, field recordings were made in and around Bad Schandau using the new hydrophones and recording equipment.
