Founded in 1998 by Christian Hugonnet, La Semaine du Son aims to raise awareness among all players in society of the importance of the quality of our sound environment, focusing on 5 key areas:
– Hearing health
– Acoustics and sound environment
– Recording and reproduction
– Image and sound
– Musical expression and pedagogy
The actions of La Semaine du Son are as follows:
– Adoption in 2017 of resolution 39C/59 by UNESCO to raise global awareness of sound issues, resulting from the Sound Week Charter.
– Since 2004,UNESCO has organizeda week of conferences and round tables in January in Paris and throughout France, sponsored each year by a well-known figure (Erik Orsenna, André Manoukian, Jean-Michel Jarre, Ibrahim Maalouf, Nathalie Dessay, Jordi Savall, Michel Drucker, Costa-Gavras, Jacques Attali, Raymond Depardon, Maxime Le Forestier and others).
– Organization of conferences and round tables abroad throughout the year (Canada, Egypt, Belgium, Argentina, Brazil, among others).
– Organization since 2018 of the “Best Sound Creation Award” at the Cannes Film Festival
– Organization since 2018 of the “Quand le Son crée l’Image” competition for students and amateurs in France and abroad in partnership with the national education system and the network of UNESCO-accredited schools internationally. Participants must make a film based on a 1mn42s piece of music specially composed by a renowned composer (Thomas Dutronc, Greco Casadesus, Jean Musy, Gabriel Yared, Ibrahim Maalouf among others).
– Design of a sound level display to be installed in public places to make passers-by aware of the value of sound levels: the Decibelator.
– Creation of a “Sound Quality” label with Universal Music to highlight productions that respect natural sound dynamics and avoid over-compression, which is particularly harmful.
