Hello!
We are a research team1 working on behalf of LABEX CAP (Laboratory of
Excellence « Creation, Arts and Heritage ») in Paris, an observatory and
experimental research laboratory working under the auspices of the French
Ministry of Culture as well as in collaboration with other French
institutions.2
We are currently conducting a research project (Start date: March 2018) to
build a conceptual and practical framework for the study of *sound design3*.
By adopting an approach globally inspired by design research, the project
focuses on the main actors of the discipline, the *sound designers*,
through an analysis of their practice according to different perspectives
(artistic, musicological, socio-cultural, technical, ecological and
scientific).
By means of large-scale studies – realised through *interviews, an online
questionnaire*, and extracts and quotes from relevant sources – the project
will promote understanding of the creative process underlying sound design,
building consistent (historical, anthropological and methodological)
knowledge about the discipline, and consequently, better evaluate how sound
design impacts the artistic, technical or scientific domains.
As we are currently setting the ground of this extensive investigation, we
have started compiling a *list of sound designers operating in Europe* (we
are hoping to open our research to other countries, at a later stage)
and a *list
of institutions in Europe* - universities, associations, schools, specific
courses and masters, studios and private companies - that operate in the
field.
If you are a sound designer or a composer/sound designer, and are
interested in participating to our research project, please fill the form
here with the code “UKERC”:
http://thesounddesignproject.com/invitation/
and/or pass this message on to other professionals, colleagues or teachers
in sound design.
This work is done for *specific research purposes*. This list and all
participant information will be kept *confidential* and *will not be
communicated* to third parties. No data will be shared with others and the
data gathered will only be used for this evaluation research, in accordance
with privacy standards set forth in the General Data Protection Regulation
in effect in the EU since May 25, 2018.
We will contact you again in the near future with more accurate details.
Moreover, it is our intention that in the future this list will serve to
create a *network of professionals operating in the broad field of sound
design*. In the form of a mailing list, it will serve as a central go-to
point of contact, as a communication channel, as an information sheet
(conferences, journals, events…).
If you have any further questions about the research or you need any
additional information, you may email the research team at

In the meantime, thank you very much for your time.

All the best,

3 Sound design can be considered as a field of design which consists in
taking into account, through a collaborative process, the sonic dimension
during the conception phase of a product (tangible), an interface (digital)
or an environment (spatial).
As a point of contact between the fields of art, industry and sciences,
sound design practices are used in a wide range of fields where taking
sound into consideration is pertinent from both a functional and aesthetic
point of view: audio-visual production (film, video games, theater),
product manufacture (home appliances, digital display), service
infra-structures (transportation), environment (architecture/urbanism,
ecology, museography), communication (advertising, marketing, sound
branding, broadcasting), performing arts (music, sound installations), etc.
