AES Europe 2025

My name is Hayden Ryan, I am a First Nations Australian sound scholar and artist, and a 2024 New York University Music Technology Masters graduate. I am about to start my PhD at RMIT University, looking at the integration of immersive technologies with Indigenous sonic and spatial culture. My recent focus involves understanding the intersection of de/colonial theories and institutional practices, Indigenous sonic culture and audio technologies, in attempt to establish culturally inclusive sound recording/artistic practices among Indigenous peoples and communities. Indigenizing Sound Technology, my presentation at AES this year, discusses this in greater detail!
