Is there timetable of FtO 2026? Little bit confusing of 1st Day... 😉
We'll have welcome party at 5:00 p.m. on the 1st day, since it'll be our first time meeting.
So there is no events or schedule items before 5pm?

If there are Detail Schedule Table by Time, it would be nice!

台日聲景地圖 ／ Soundscape Atlas _ Field recordings gathered by 44 students from four universities in Taiwan and Japan. Each entry pairs a recording with a wide shot for context and a close-up of the sound source. / Ten pairs that do the same job in the two countries and sound nothing alike. Play them one at a time, or play both and drag the slider to cross-fade between the two.
