Worlding Soundings | Residency

Worlding Soundings is a new collaborative series by WORLDING and Acoustic Survey Art Lab, launched in May 2026 in Southwark, London.

Conceived as a series of one-day sonic residencies, the programme invites artists, musicians, movement practitioners, and curious participants into a structured but open environment for improvisation, listening, recording, and cross-disciplinary sound practice.

The series brings together two complementary approaches. WORLDING offers a context shaped by exchange, experimentation, care, food, and public-facing artistic activity. Acoustic Survey Art Lab brings a research-driven practice exploring the sonic character of spaces through deep listening, site-responsive recording, and live experimentation.

Each residency unfolds as a theme-led day combining guided exercises, artist references, practical sound-making techniques, reflection, communal plant-based meals, and an evening hangout with performances. Across the series, participants may encounter work with voice, found objects, recording devices, everyday materials, environment, space, and collective sound-making.

Highlights across the residencies include:

• improvisation with guest artists
• listening and recording exercises
• practical sound-making techniques
• communal plant-based meals
• evening hangouts with performances
