Raviv Ganchrow
Raviv Ganchrow (US/NL) completed his architectural studies at the Cooper Union, New York, in 2000, and received a second degree, in 2004, from the Institute of Sonology at The Royal Conservatory, The Hague. Ganchrow is a sound artist and researcher. His work focuses on interrelations between sound and space, aspects of which are explored through sound installations, writing and the development of acoustic-forming and vibration-sensing technologies. Since 2006 he has been a faculty member at the Institute of Sonology, The Hague.
Raviv Ganchrow: 'Long Wave Synthesis'
The field trip to the site of Raviv Ganchrow’s Long Wave Synthesis promises to be an impressive infrasound experience. Long Wave Synthesis is a land-art scale sound installation that investigates infrasound, and probes the relations between how we perceive the landscape and long-wave vibrations.

The field trip to the site of Raviv Ganchrow’s Long Wave Synthesis promises to be an impressive infrasound experience. Long Wave Synthesis is a land-art scale sound installation that investigates infrasound, and probes the relations between how we perceive the landscape and long-wave vibrations. The ‘field trip’ to his work presents the occasion for three lectures on different aspects of infrasound, by Raviv Ganchrow, Jon Hagstrum and Hillel Schwartz.
Session 10: The Terrain of Infrasound
Sunday 1 March
12:00 - 14:00
Paradiso, Main Hall
Infrasound is extremely long sound waves (up to 171 kilometres) below the threshold of human hearing. They literally connect the solid Earth to oceans and weather as well as to industrial practices. Infrasound-sensing stations all over the world record, for example, rocket launches, auroras, collapsing glaciers, mudslides, atomic tests and mine explosions.
