11 August – 08 September 2024


While Anthropocene (actually only proposed as a new epoch of geologic time, following the Holocene) is an officially not yet definitely defined period of time during which human activities are thought to have had a significant impact on the global environment, regarded as having begun sometime between twelve thousand years ago, with the spread of agriculture, and two hundred years ago, with the advent of industrialization, as a topic of the media art context of The Anthropocene Project, the term is going far beyond marking the contradictory relationship between (the volatile transitory character of) human nature and (sustainable) nature, the significant human impact on ecosystems, including the human-caused climate change, biodiversity loss etc.

Curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne, The New Museum of Networked Art realizing the Sound of Anthropocene Project as a new media art context in an exchange between virtual and physical space, is inviting artists using sonic art as a non-visual medium dealing with the (positive and negative) human impact.

Anton Anishchanka (BY) - Dawn Chorus, 2024, 21:16


Anton Anishchanka (BY) – Dawn Chorus, 2024, 21:16
The author of Dawn Chorus is not a person – he is just a medium who records and transmits a unique combination of sounds. The real authors of this work are the birds greeting the new day with their vibrant voices. Their twittering breaks into the predawn silence of the moor. They are asserting themselves, discussing something, arguing, calling to each other. A person may only try to interpret their chorus, uncover their loud presence in the forests and bogs of Vyganashchanskae reserve, Belarus. This territory has coincidentally escaped deforestation, melioration and pollution, so birds can be fully fledged actors there.

Anton Anishchanka
is field recordist, sound artist and curator from Minsk, Belarus. He works in the field of electronic music production and electroacoustic music composition. He prefers to use analogue musical gear and soundscapes made during sound expeditions around the world. He works in different musical genres – ambient experimental, ethno-ambient, ambient jazz, drone. Most of his projects are about deep listening experience. Currently he is working on the Parus ethno-ambient project in collaboration with folk singer/ ethnographer Hanna Silivonchyk. Its tracks are based on ambisonic soundscapes, live vocals, sampled ancient Belarusian acoustic instruments, tapes, synthesizers and analogue sound precessing gear.


Giovanni Michelle Arroyo Torres (MX) - Eco Anthropo: Humans and new sound environments, 2023, 7:38


Giovanni Michelle Arroyo Torres (MX) – Eco Anthropo: Humans and new sound environments, 2023, 7:38
The Anthropocene goes beyond a simple proposal of a geological era where it has been demonstrated that human beings have the power to alter both social and natural systems.
Eco Anthropo: Humans and new sound environments creates an exploratory analysis of the Anthropocene through a sound narrative that makes a journey between the sounds of the past, present and future, based on the hypothesis of the power that humans have to modify the soundscape around them, to such an extent that manages to obtain the ability to generate new sound environments.

Giovanni Michelle Arroyo Torres,
born March 25, 1999 in Toluca, State of Mexico. Graduated from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Unidad Lerma with a degree in Digital Art and Communication. His work has been linked to the post-production of audiovisual projects, focusing mainly on sound. As a digital artist, he seeks to create an impact through abstraction, editing and experimentation of sounds, images and shapes, in order to create spaces and feelings in which the viewer empathizes with the themes of his works.

Félix Blume (France) - Horses Talk, 2018, 7:19


Félix Blume (France) – Horses Talk, 2018, 7:19
In the small village of Benești, a few hours’ drive west of Bucharest, locals use horse-drawn carts to go to the fields. They return with freshly cut hay or sand from the riverbed. Coachmen talk to their horses to indicate which directions to follow and the appropriate speed. “Dii” to move forward, “Hai” to go faster, “O” to stop. I’ve invited myself with the microphones on board for a ride. Communication runs through sounds and gestures, which in my lack of understanding Romanian language turn horse talk into universal language. Each in their own manner, man and animal, seem to understand each other. Voice speaks beyond words, inviting us to listen to timbre, rhythms and melodies that intertwine as they are spoken.

Félix Blume (France, 1984)
is a sound artist and sound engineer. He currently works and lives between Mexico Brazil and France. He uses sound as a basic material in sound pieces videos actions and installations. His work is focused on listening it invites us to a different perception of our surroundings. His process is often collaborative working with communities using public space as the context within which he explores and presents his works. He is interested in myths and their contemporary interpretation in human dialogues both with inhabited natural and urban contexts in what voices can tell beyond words.


Sara Broto (Spain) - Echoes from Earth, 2021, 09:23


Sara Broto (Spain) – Echoes from Earth, 2021, 09:23
Sound and chronological journey from Protohistory to the present day of the
Spanish Mediterranean territory, with special emphasis on instruments from
the land itself (ceramic and metal) based on research in 2021 on uncatalogued
fragments from the Museum of Fine Arts of Castellón ( Spain). Music stands out
as the common thread of our history, instead of war, always present in
museum spaces. We have been dancers, singers, musicians, since the origin of
our times.

Sara Broto,
music, literature and visual art are her skins in movement through the roots of
craftswomanship and mediation and their natural interrelationships of
transverse layers. In her work as both a creator and an art curator, landscape-
voice-ritual converge in a symbiotic way, tracing cohabitation and spaces of
poetics and sustainable fabrics between foreign and native natures.
In her creations she immerses herself between the waters of bioart and the
alchemy of experimentation: sound (bioacoustics, soundscape, radio art, sound
art, archaeomusicology), audiovisual and organic (study of nature through art),
having carried out several artistic residencies.


Cave Aquam Collective (Italy) - Cave aquam I, 2024, 22:17


Cave Aquam Collective (Italy) – Cave aquam I, 2024, 22:17
The sound track is an attempt to summarize the sonic geographies of the Travertine quarries, both abandoned and …
This track is part of an investigation into the Roman travertine extractivism system. It’s a sound mapping of immersive itineraries in the Tivoli-Guidonia quarries, using field recordings practices. It’s a journey into the soundscapes of active travertine extraction sites and the rich ecosystems that have developed in the abandoned quarries devoid of human presence. It’s a crossing of spaces within the folds of both. An evocation of memories and imaginings of multiple temporalities, intersecting ruins of the past and the future, and visions of another dwelling removed from the domain of extractivism.

Cecilia Blanco representing Cave Aquam Collective (Laura Landi, Cecilia Blanco, Anastasia Solazzo, Arianna Cianetti, Cristina Martone, Davide De Lillis, Lucia Tedesco, Paola Pietronave). Work realized also in collaboration with Ezequiel Abregu (mix e mastering)
Cecilia Blanco is an Argentinian artist. Co-creator of scenic works, video installations, performances, and actions, her practices address socio-environmental issues, the relationship between political practices and artistic creation, and the production of fictions that can challenge binary and dominant logics of perception. Cave Aquam is a collaborative, interdisciplinary project created at the conclusion of the 2023 Master’s in Environmental Humanities (RomaTre University). The collective involves artists and researchers from various parts of Italy. Starting with the theme of extractivism, it explores how this impacts the environment and the diverse forms of life that inhabit these areas.


Chin Ting Chan (CN/USA) - Mirror Sculpture,2023, 9:00


Chin Ting Chan (CN/USA) – Mirror Sculpture,2023, 9:00
The piece is inspired by over twenty years of observation on a Ficus tree. While its surrounding has changed dramatically, the tree remains vigorous and intact. This shows the impact of time on things at different pace. Our perception or memory of them can vary dynamically, transforming them into a mirror that reflects who we are at different times and stages of our lives. When we are able to adapt to our surrounding with an open mind and curiosity, we not only see a clearer image of ourselves from this mirror, but also through it.

Composer Chin Ting CHAN
grew up in Hong Kong and came to the United States in 2003. He has been featured in festivals including Ars Electronica, IRCAM’s ManiFeste, ISCM World Music Days, and UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers, among others.

Gordon Delap (Ireland) - I dreamt that I died and came back as a moth trapped in a practice room piano, 2017, 9:25


Gordon Delap (Ireland) – I dreamt that I died and came back as a moth trapped in a practice room piano, 2017, 9:25
This was built using rejected source sounds and abandoned ideas for a composition for live piano and electroacoustic sounds. The title alludes to the famous butterfly passage from Zhuangzi’s writings, which (in one translation) goes like this:
One night, Zhuangzi dreamed of being a butterfly — a happy butterfly, showing off and doing things as he pleased, unaware of being Zhuangzi. Suddenly he awoke, drowsily, Zhuangzi again. And he could not tell whether it was Zhuangzi who had dreamt the butterfly or the butterfly dreaming Zhuangzi. But there must be some difference between them!

Gordon Delap
comes from Co. Donegal in Ireland. He studied composition at City University, London, and Queen’s University, Belfast. He has undertaken residencies at Nadine Arts Centre in Brussels, the Crescent Arts Centre in Belfast, the Technische Universitaet in Berlin, at Edinburgh University, and SCRIME, Bordeaux. He is currently lecturer in music technology at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.

Around the age of twenty, I began my personal photographic research. I got fascinated by the artistic
Avant-garde of the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries, because they focused on the analysis of the visual
medium, than to the staging of reality and its representation.
In recent years, I have focused on some details of the environment around me: clouds, leaves and everyday
objects that you daily have under your eyes. I have also produced music, some videos, which have been
screened at video mapping festivals and participated in film festivals. I’m also interested in the use of AI.

Jakob Gille (Germany) – Perspectives of Venice, 2024,. 14:00
In the creation of “Perspektiven von Venedig”, four recordings captured across various
locations in Venice serves as the foundation. Employing an Ambisonics microphone
(Zoom H3 VR) and recording at a high sample rate (96 kHz), the endeavor was to
encapsulate a broad spectrum of frequencies, facilitating an immersive audio
exploration. The compositional process is deeply rooted in the study of Acoustic
Ecology, aiming to translate the diverse auditory perspectives of non-human entities into
a humanly accessible form. The piece explores temporal resolution and how different
species perceive time and sound, integrating these unique perceptions into the
composition.

Jakob Gille
studied at the HfM Dresden composition and music theory. He is the driving
force behind Into Sound, an initiative that has organised multiple concerts for 3D
loudspeaker setups in Berlin. His compositions have been played several times at the
Medium Sonorum concert at the Ars Electronica Linz, in Ústí nad Labem in combination
with the Ambisonics Summer School 2023, at the Festival Izis in Koper and the Apnées
Festival in Grenoble. In 2023, he won an honorable mention at ISAC in Pesaro. Currently,
he is pursuing a master’s degree in Computermusic and Soundart at KUG & IEM Graz.

Josephine Illingworth-Law (UK) – Singing The Mountain – Dawn, Aurora, 2024, 7:40
These three works explore the mountain hut as a facilitator of community and interconnection with nature. Spending a winter hiking the Dolomites, I slept alone in these huts and recorded the sounds I found there; a chorus of wind, rain, cowbells, birds, dogs, fire. The resulting soundscape work depicts a 24 hour period in the hut, using lyrics created from messages left by previous occupants. In our increasingly digitised Anthropocene, it is crucial to return to places like the mountain hut where we can starkly experience our connection with each other and nature

Josephine Illingworth-Law (Uk)
Using collected sound, ethnographic research, and performance, Josephine Illingworth-Law investigates places where the human and natural worlds are entwined with unusual complexity. Trained as a chorister, she uses her own voice to meld her field recordings into lyrical soundscapes, constructing complex sound pieces designed as moments of deep listening.

Richard Jermain (USA) - Human Forces, 2024, 13:04


Richard Jermain (USA) – HuThis track is composed of field recordings from various trips across the US. Conceived as a deep-listening drone track, weather system sirens, utility trucks, and subway rails are processed at various playback speeds to create dense but lilting layers of overtones. The idea behind this sound collage is to map places in which sounds are almost completely produced by industry but that nevertheless have compelling harmonies and inspire ideas of the resonances found in natural environments, winds, and storms. The track is played live and concludes with a suite of sounds create using electromagnetically resonated strings and prepared guitar. man Forces, 2024, 13:04

Richard Jermain (aka The City Underground)
is a composer and PhD candidate living in Bloomington, Indiana.
His sound work takes a cybernetic approach, finding dense, evolving textures within feedback networks that utilize human-machine interaction, space, and acoustic resonance. Through deliberately hybrid arrangements, he incorporates field recordings, modular synthesis, and electromagnetically extended instruments.
Jermain’s dissertation research explores ways in which late capitalist soundscapes are depicted in electronic music genres, and the ways in which they embody ideologies of fatalism and pessimism, as well as structures of feeling around emerging ideas of progress.

The severity of the β rhythm increases with the appearance of a new unexpected stimulus,
in a situation of attention, with mental stress, emotional arousal.
They belong to fast waves.
Their amplitude is 4-5 times less than the amplitude of α waves.
The state in the active Beta rhythm allows humanity
develop the technical aspects of life,

make difficult decisions.
Beta rhythms of brain activity increase under stress,
emotional and mental arousal.
Suitable for calm, intellectual activity.

Roman Klaudo (Serbia) - Technoether, 2021, 8:36


Roman Klaudo (Serbia) – Technoether, 2021, 8:36
“TECHNOETHER” is a 4-channel sound installation for 8-channel spatial
audiosystem, the source samples for which were obtained using special
diy-equipment, which helped to convert the electromagnetic and light signals from
electrical equipment into sound. It was made for the exhibition`s “Voices of
technobiocenoses”:
“The Anthropocene epoch is characterized by dramatic changes in ecosystems
under the influence of human economic activity and accompanying random
processes. Before the twentieth century, the dominant tools of the Anthropocene
were biological monocultures – domesticated animals and cultivated plants that, with
human participation, could destroy in a few decades the natural interconnections
formed by entire geological epochs. At present, these monocultures are in turn being
replaced by new human companions – technological devices, forming a new type of
ecosystems – technobiocenoses. The inhabitants of these ecosystems live, develop,
and die according to laws similar to those of nature, but formed by sociocultural
preconditions. Art, science, technology, and the market in the world of
technobiological life become blind geological and evolutionary forces shaping the
face of our planet. The spaces of technobiocenoses are filled with inaudible voices of
technological organisms – hidden events of sound temporality that are used to
communicate between them or simply signal their vital activities.”
The sources of initial signals were chosen as means of communication, which during
the lockdown period became even more important for people – a computer, an
Internet router, a smartphone, a radio station.

Roman Klaudo
is a musician, sound artist, new media artist and
engineer. I love all things related to music and sound, so I like to create not only music,
but also musical instruments – guitars, modular synthesisers, experimental devices…
Roman was born in St. Petersburg, Russia into a dynasty of engineers involved in the
development of spacecraft. Dad worked on the electronics of the Soviet space shuttle
Buran, and grandfather was the head of the gas-dynamic testing laboratory of rocket
engines.
Creating all sorts of complicated things has always been a special passion, and the
space sphere was perfect for it. At university, Roman became interested in jazz and jazz
music, and after graduating and working in the comic industry, he continued his musical
education and started experimenting with musical instruments.
While studying at the Department of Art&Science at ITMO University, in addition to a
whole new intellectual world, he met a huge number of talented people who encouraged
him to expand his interests, and Roman became interested in neural interfaces and
deep neural networks. He continues to do so to this day in the context of musical
experiments.

Zoe (Yi-Cheng) Lin (TW) – 3D Illusory Immersive Soundscape: Glacier, 2023, 10:00
Since the early 20th century, glaciers have steadily diminished. Annually, glaciers discharge 46 cubic kilometers of ice, producing seismic roars and tsunami-like waves. This composition employs 3D immersive soundscapes to create synesthetic experiences, depicting glacier textures, heights, and disintegration. It symbolizes human violence and environmental destruction, paralleling 21st-century warfare with apocalyptic themes. Primarily electronic, it includes choir-like elements to explore themes of apocalypse, redemption, and forgiveness. Blurring the lines between painting and composing, I sculpted sounds guided by my inner artistic vision. Close your eyes to sense the glacier’s essence and the waves consuming it.

The right to privacy and data protection are current buzzwords, yet in everyday behavior, few consciously resist and defend themselves against ubiquitous surveillance of small spies voluntarily carried by the majority.
The ongoing series of compositions, KUNDSCHAFTER, sonifies what is invisibly transmitted and broadcast by different, partly obsolete devices, when they are supposedly silent and inactive, assumed to transmit data only they are turned on.
The scale of surveillance and self-harm has been steadily unfolding since the digitization of everyday life, while at the same an ignorance of these encroachments on personal freedom and privacy grows.

Ian McArthur (Australia) – Unseen, 2024, 10:38

UNSEEN contemplates our relationship with non-human life and the more-than-human world. Juxtaposing field recordings, lo-fi electronics, and guitar driven noise, the work plays with dissonance and the disconnections between everyday life on a planet in crisis and the teeming, ever emergent ontologies around us. Foregrounding the immediacy and proximity of the sometimes nighmarish yet beautiful ecology in which we are deeply entangled, layers of multi-species in-between spaces and forms prompt a reimagining and reconnection with land desperately required in a world that despite the consequences still sees the human as omnipotent architect and manipulator of reality.

is a hybrid practitioner working in the domains of experimental interdisciplinary practice, transcultural collaboration, sound art, experimental radio, Metadesign, and education change. Working since the early 1980’s utilising a resolutely lo-fi approach to all things ‘musiq’, Ian’s practice as creative producer and sound artist has involved utilising field recordings, granular and generative synthesis, mobile technologies, and open-source platforms in exhibitions and telematic, non-idiomatic improvised performances. This work has been showcased in experimental sonifications for responsive interactive media environments used in public art and gallery installations, live performances, and exhibitions in Australia, China, and the UK.

Robert McClure (USA) – In Excess, 2017,7:52
in excess explores the vast amounts of waste humans produce daily. Plastic packaging was the primary sonic material. Numerous processes were used sonically and spatially to overwhelm the listener just as physical plastics are overwhelming the Earth, particularly the ocean. Waves of plastic swirl having been filtered and colored with pitch; tainted. Written in conjunction with the oboe solo, “struggling” and combined as “struggling, in excess”, balloons were used to simulate oboe multiphonics; an important sound character for “in excess”.  The balloons scream through the din of plastic as their last breaths are extinguished under the weight of our excess.

Ariel Mioduser (IL) - Lava, 2022, 6:00


Ariel Mioduser (IL) – Lava, 2022, 6:00
This piece carries a middle eastern scent and is influenced by the sounds in my surroundings – actual sounds, atmospheric and tacit. The lyrics refer to the times when I look at the stars above and perceive light from thousands of light years, but when looking to the dark starless space, I perceive the infinite. Much like in this beautiful and ebullient area.
The raw material of the sound is based on my voice, processed to a point where it is sometimes unrecognizable as a human voice, but still carries the warmth and vibration of the original.

Ariel Mioduser (IL)
Born in Argentina. Currently living in Jaffa, Israel. I am a media artist specializing in sound art, animation, and digital painting. My sound works encompass the use of my voice, field recordings, and electronic instruments, both in its natural state and electronically manipulated.

J.F. Nation (USA) - Flowers Are Our Garments, 2024, 7:13


J.F. Nation (USA) – Flowers Are Our Garments, 2024, 7:13
This song sets tlatoani Nezahualcoyotl’s “Flowers Are Our Only Garments” to progressive death metal, reframing the Aztec Death Whistle within a decolonial sonic history of the Anthropocene. By redesigning the whistle to augment metal vocals, it rejects the bloodthirsty tropes assigned to the instrument that justify genocidal violence against Indigenous peoples. This reinterpretation instead highlights Nahua philosophy’s high literature and spiritual symbolism, contextualizing Plantationocene capitalism through the Orbis Spike. The piece invites Western audiences to reevaluate the instrument’s mythologized historical context, moving beyond unfounded pop cultural narratives and fostering a deeper engagement with Indigenous contributions to environmental and cultural discourses.

J.F. Nation,
a graduate student at Georgia Tech pursuing a master’s in music technology. My research focuses on redesigning historical musical instruments by incorporating critical-making studies, science and technology studies, and sound studies to highlight global colonial, ecological, and queer injustices. My work emphasizes creating instruments from recycled and eco-friendly materials to explore post-colonial discourses and histories through sound, prioritizing music-cultural desirability, accessibility, and education through multimedia in my designs. At Georgia Tech, I am honing my music composition, instrument fabrication and repair, and sociological analysis skills, developed through my music major and physics minor at Cornell University.


Chaeryeong Oh (S.Korea) - Korean Fir, 2024, 2:41


Chaeryeong Oh (S.Korea) – Korean Fir, 2024, 2:41
Korean Fir is a sonification of the DNA of the Korean fir(Abies Koreana). The Korean fir is one of the Korean endemic species and the bioindicator of climate change. Growing up in Korea, I could feel climate change every year through harsher winters, tougher yellow dust, and remorseless summers. This is a clear impact of the Anthropocene. However, scientifically finding solutions is also characteristic of the Anthropocene.
Analyzing the DNA into its corresponding amino acid and codon, it becomes a score for the FM synthesizer. The analyzed chemical characteristics of the nucleotide and proteins assign unique sound in the score.

Chaeryeong Oh is currently pursuing a master’s program in music technology at Georgia Tech. They earned a B.A.S. in Art & Technology and a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from Sogang University. Chaeryeong explores Korean futurism and sustainability through interactive music. Their current research topic is shaping Korean queer futurism by connecting microbiology and ecology with their life to build an autoethnographic sound art. Their recent work, “Flowers For Everyone From Nowhere” is a web Vjing tool based on the imaginary flower garden Seocheon Kkotbat in Korean folktales and shamanism.

Motoki Ohkubo (Japan) – White and Brown Eggs, 2024, 9:38
How does knowledge work to appreciate a work of art? The knowledgeable viewer may be able to read the various techniques and receive such intellectual enjoyment. However, would a work with such skillful musical rhetoric be boring to an uninformed viewer? Only composers and engineers can know such things as sound processing. Is electroacoustic music then music for specialists? This work was created with such questions in mind. The goal was to allow the audience to grasp the content of the music without having any knowledge of the music.

Motoki Ohkubo (Japan)
is a Japanese composer, and a part-time teacher at Nagoya University of the Arts, Aichi Shukutoku University, and Soai University. He uses technologies, such as audio engineering, programming, and video in musical composition.

PROMECO (Paul Collins & Mathilde Proy) (France) – Fievrurary 1, 2024, 7:43
Although the recent COVID pandemic tends now to be viewed as receding in the rear-view mirror, objects in the mirror really are closer than they appear. February invariably now brings
to mind of those strange days of uncertainty before lockdown in 2020. This past February, seemingly everybody in Paris was ill with the flu, a cold, or COVID. Fievrurary 1 (incorporating
“fever” in French), is an expression of working through and despite illness, as humans have had to for time immemorial. This piece evokes the necessity of working, (planting, harvesting,
homemaking, etc.) even as we are diminished by malady.

PROMECO (Paul Collins & Mathilde Proy) (France)
Mathilde Proy and Paul Collins first met through their shared activity as painters. After playing together at one of the bi-weekly “Broken Impro” sessions at the music venue, Chair de
Poule, Paris in December 2023, they decided to join forces to form Promeco. Collins is a Toronto-born, Paris-based visual artist and musician. He teaches printing-making and
experimental music at ESAM Caen. Proy, from Reims, is currently working on her degree in electroacoustic composition at CRD de Pantin. They are both active members in the Paris

Giuseppe E. Rapisarda (Italy) – Fuori è dentro, 2020, 10:56
The piece was composed in 2020, during the lockdown caused by Covid19. Cities were empty. We have lived through unusual days, hearing a new soundscape. There was something new I listened to. Something I wanted to hear, but it wasn’t there. It was an interior time, at home.
It was a new surrounding space. I perceived a new map of the streets around me.
The piece is like listening to a whole day in ten minutes. Was it real?

Giuseppe E. Rapisarda
graduated in Piano, Electroacoustic Music and Music Composition at Bellini Institute in Catania. He studied Electroacoustic Music under Alessandro Cipriani and obtained a master degree with first class honours at the Frosinone Conservatory.

Stephen Roddy (Ireland) - Thonis-Heracleion, peaceful beneath the waves, 2023, 7:36


Stephen Roddy (Ireland) – Thonis-Heracleion, peaceful beneath the waves, 2023, 7:36
Thonis-Heracleion (Egyptian-Greek names) was an ancient Egyptian City founded around
the 8th century BC on adjoining islands in the mouth of the Nile Delta. The city was built
around a central temple to Khonsou-Herakles from which a network of canals interspersed
with docks and quays cut across the city. For 1000 years it acted as the port of entry for ships
from the Greek world until a combination of earthquakes, tsunamis, and rising sea levels
caused the sinking of the city into the Mediterranean Sea. It wasn’t until the year 2000 that it
was finally rediscovered having sat peacefully below the waves for 1200 years.
The story of Thonis-Heracleion presages what lies in store for coastal cities facing the
ravages of climate change in the coming years

Stephen Roddy

Mar Garrido Román & Laura Apolonio (Spain) - Breathe Anthropocene, breathe, 2024, 4:02


Mar Garrido Román & Laura Apolonio (Spain) – Breathe Anthropocene, breathe, 2024, 4:02
This piece of sound art originates from a walk through the historic Albaycín
neighborhood in Granada, a place visited by numerous people from all over the world.
As a historic district with narrow streets, cars cannot pass, and visitors must walk, which
fosters dialogue—something increasingly rare in our hyper-technological societies. This
neighborhood, rich in history and spirituality, is home to places of worship for both
Muslims and Catholics.
The piece seeks to express a desire, akin to a prayer, for humanity to reflect on its situation
and the grave danger of the imminent climate crisis. It longs for people to rediscover their
unity and understand that everything is interconnected, returning to breathe in unison with
nature.

Mar Garrido Román and Laura Apolonio
are multidisciplinary artists as well as professors and researchers at the Faculty of Fine
Arts in Granada (Spain). They have created numerous artistic, audiovisual, and sound
works and have published research articles on the topic of sound art in indexed

Timothy Roy (USA) – Brompton & Braeswood, 2023, 11:05
Brompton & Braeswood is an acousmatic piece inspired by my personal experience living through
Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas. The title derives from the street intersection where I was living
at the time, along Brays Bayou in the heart of the city. Central to my piece is a library of field recordings
I captured in that location in the days immediately prior to Harvey making landfall. Some of these
recordings were made with a Soundfield SPS-200 microphone; others were made with a matched pair
of DPA miniature omni microphones clipped to the brim of a baseball cap, which allowed me to
capture a quasi-binaural stereo image.

Timothy Roy
composes music steeped in imagery and allusion, which seeks to elicit a sense of time,
place, and feeling. His music has received performances at such venues and events as the National
Theater of Taipei, Music Biennale Zagreb, ZKM Karlsruhe, BEAST, San Francisco Tape Music
Festival, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, and Los Angeles County Arboretum. Recent
honors include the Salvatore Martirano Memorial Composition Award (1st Prize),

Petr Safronov (NL) -Loud Enough, 2024, 6:39
Should we try to domesticate ourselves in any aural environment? Or should we dissect domestication? This piece is an exploration of the aural regime of “at home”. This is not a critique of the soothing experience of familiarity. I’m curious how sounds recorded during the online meetings or quiet walks in the neighborhood reveal affinities and ruptures in the fabric of human-tool-technology interaction, i.e. what is the home where we now belong?

Petr Safronov
works with lines, forms and waves. Often I describe myself as a field philosopher. I write poetry, craft visual essays, philosophical pieces, and sound works. My work was presented, among others, at the AfterProgress (2022, Goldsmith’s College) and Autopoiesis (2023, IKITI lab) digital exhibitions.

Chiradip Sarkar (India) – CALM BEFORE STORM, 2023, 5:36
Mellifluous music can easily overwhelm a person undergoing wanderlust to experience morii and hope for a refreshing beginning. ‘Calm before storm’ is the melody that express immense hope in a flow that we all, as children of nature, feel within us to save the green earth around us. The storm is an effort to rightfully fight for the nature to reclaim the lost serenity and tranquility. This therapeutic music overjoys us with hope, positivity and the potential energy to become the eye of the storm and redeem our belongingness to the nature in its pure form.

Matías Ignacio Serrano (Chile) - Can you remember the last rain?, 2023, 5:10


Matías Ignacio Serrano (Chile) – Can you remember the last rain?, 2023, 5:10
The work is a meta-recording, whose first version was recorded during the last rain of the 2021 winter in Santiago de Chile, the largest city in Chile, which had a 14-year streak of rain below normal levels. This sound was played in 2023 through a pair of experimental speakers made with modified hard disks and installed at the MAVI Museum. These sounds mimic, in a clumsy way, the experience of rain, amplifying the deficiencies of the sonic player and raising questions about how we’ll remember the rain if the drought keeps advancing.

Matías Ignacio Serrano Acevedo

Jean Voguet (France) - 'gê' part 1, 2023, 8:05


Jean Voguet (France) – « gê » part1, 2023, 8:05
A forgotten land, universal, utopian and resilient. This geophonodesy is composed of 3 parts : Ante, Suspension, Return. gê represents the two aspects of nature: capable of creating harmonious
beauty, but also capable of resurrecting original chaos. Everywhen chaos occurs, such as the disappearance of the dinosaurs or the imminent and inexorable finitude of humankind… there is negentropy and autopoïesis. In this way, evolution and biological development manage to swim upstream in the thermodynamic current, creating complexity, cohesion, organization, resilience and endurance. Life’s rare ability to resist and adapt leads all cycles – like autopoïetic machines – to repeat themselves. Everywhen a biosphere collapses, a new symbiosphere is reborn.

Having been a futuristic bruitism, atypical composer of electronic music,
Jean VOGUET pursuing research into the notions of Acousmatic Geophonies
& Heterotopias and has always focused on how his works are presented in
each environmental & immersivity context.
His work on ” sound spaces of otherness “, which means the virtual
ecosystem in complex structures (the sound materials created by sound
synthesis, not originating from organic sound) generate an initiatory
musical wandering – outside of time and outside the border – within the
unlimited and temporary dimension.
