What does it mean to β€˜stay’ in a place, and how can sound capture that experience? 🎧 Dr. Dominik Kremer and @andreaswagnr.bsky.social guided us through Tracing Qualities of Stay, exploring voice recordings tied to place and presence.

We explored how language shifts across gender, style, and register ✍️ With Dr. Marianna Grachova, we learned how Keyfeature analysis reveals the words and structures that make each variety stand out πŸ”
