Raviv Ganchrow researches the interdependencies of sound, locale, and hearing through installations, writing, and the development of transduction technologies. His work examines spatial-material operations of sound in conditions such as ocean acoustics, environmental infrasound, telluric currents, radio transmission and anechoic chambers. Recent installations employ in-situ circuits patched directly into locales, relaying features of sound’s contextual dynamics. His current project Whale Refractions investigates enmeshed poly-temporal relations between planetary conditions, biological transformations and sensory operations refracting through whale sounds. He publishes, workshops, and lectures broadly on auditory contexts and sonic agency and is currently a faculty member at the Institute of Sonology, The Hague and a visiting researcher at the Department of Transcultural Musicology, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
