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 faculty at the Institute of Sonology, The Hague and visiting researcher at the Department of Transcultural Musicology, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
