Climbing Soundscape

[Balandino Di Donato]

Hello,

When not climbing, I work in sound design and sound studies at Edinburgh Napier University. We are conducting surveys on the soundscape and its perception while climbing.

I would appreciate it very much if you could complete this survey: https://survey.napier.ac.uk/n/ClimbingSuoundsape.aspx

Happy climbing,
Balandino.

Fred Padula's 1978 film El Capitan has really great sound design that might be fruitful for your research. It's a film of remarkable beauty that doesn't subsume the climbing within a voice-over, and the sounds of pitons getting hammered give the ascent the feeling of a steely gamelan orchestra--the soundscape of the film is as important as the visuals.
