This is a two-part class, that takes place on 6/20 and 6/27 at the Institute for Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles. Registration grants entrance to both events.
Class Description:
Why do molecules and waves have such a deep history? Music and scent are interconnected by neurobiology and metaphor. From experimental performance to Spearsian pop saturation, scent inspires music and vice versa. Let’s play the organ, talk notes, smell sounds, listen to perfume, and find harmony in the olfactive and auditory, in a class that draws from ethnomusicology and ethnoolfactology in contemporary practice to present a historical perspective on the connections between sound and smell.
Attendees will have the opportunity to share their projects on scent and music in the second session of this course.
CLASS 1: The History of Scent and Music - 6/20 in person
CLASS 2: Contemporary Practices + Class Presentations  - 6/27 in person
Topics covered:
+ A Brief Postmodern History of Scent & Music, beginning with Septimus Piesse and synaesthetic metaphor going through Harry Revel, Sadakichi Hartmann, Brian Eno, and songs about scent
+ Phenomenology in art, what connects our ears and noses
+ How perfumes are inspired by music from DS&Durga’s Debaser to Margiela’s Music Festival to Jazmin Saraï's Otis & Me (and perfume mixtapes) to Binaurale
+ Pop music and scent: From Cher to J.Lo to Britney Spears to Ariana Grande
+ A survey of the immersive practitioners of Scent & Music, from the San Francisco movement to Holynose to Geza Schön for Unsound Festival to Nose Music, and musical incursions into scent from Jónsi to Leo Crabtree to Oval
+ Presentations by attendees of their projects combining scent and music
Take-Aways:
+ An understanding of the intersection of scent and sound
+ The opportunity to smell scent / sound projects

Cancellation Policy
When we host a class or workshop, we often order the materials to be used in the class well in advance, based on how many people have signed up (and padding a bit for safety). We also use class proceeds to pay our teachers. Although we realize that life has a funny way of getting in the way of the best laid plans, as a small non-profit we cannot afford to carry the burden of lost proceeds and materials. With all that said, here’s our refund policy for in person classes!
– Cancellation with refund or credit requests made
 
1 week or more (7 days)
 before the scheduled session will be honored with gusto! We’ll miss you, but will 100% refund your spot.
– Refunds or class credits requested 
less than 7 days
 before the scheduled session: We will refund you 50% of your class fee. Why? Because we’ve already ordered the materials.
– Refunds or class credits requested 
less than 48 hours
 before the class, 
on the day of the class
 or 
after the class has happened
 will not be granted.
– Cancellations or refund requests must be made 
by email
 
(hello@artandolfaction).
Note also that event tickets are 
non-transferable.

好吧,所以這是一個擁擠的一天來。很多學校團體。還有,當我們到達時,下一個可用的票是2個小時後定時。它花了我們每人18美元,另外15停車。我認爲體驗相當不錯。這些東西讓我感興趣,所以我不介意等待,但它確實變得擁擠。

日落大道

Tn Around

日落大道是洛杉磯最具代表性的事物之一，但它最終只是一條路。毫無疑問，它涵蓋了一些亮點，例如花花公子大廈、奧本海姆集團直通好萊塢，但你最終只是路過而不是冒險去。
