Hi everyone!
As part of the celebrations of the 20th Anniversary of Freesound, we are organising a “Freesound Day” event that will happen on the 28th of October of 2025. The Freesound Day will include talks from members of the Freesound community and/or projects and initiatives related to Freesound. Also, it will host live performances with the selected pieces from the composition contest that was announced earlier this year.
Even though the event will take place physically at the Campus Poblenou of Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, we are organising it so that online participation is possible and welcomed. Of course, it would be wonderful if some of you could make it to Barcelona! If you check early enough, you might be able to find more affordable travel and accommodation options 🙂
If you are interested to participate in the event by giving a talk, please fill out the form linked below to tell us what you’d like to talk about. The talk can be about anything that has to do with your sound practice in relation to Freesound. Maybe tell us about how you use Freesound? Or tell us about some anecdotes related to Freesound? Or tell us about your projects, and how Freesound has been useful for them?
>>> Application form: https://forms.gle/JgiLZTptUBWrARsZA <<<
You will be able to give the talk either in remote through videoconferencing, here at the campus, or with a pre-recorded video. We expect talks to be no longer than 10-15 minutes. We will try to fit all the proposed talks in the schedule, but if there are too many proposals, then we will need to make a selection. In any case, we’ll keep you posted about the process. The deadline for submitting talk proposals is the 30th of June. After that date, the form will be closed.
Thanks a lot for your participation, we are looking forward to hear about your stories!
