Site singing: exclusive interview with Ellen Southern

Site Singing is a pilot project to create downloadable voice-based sound works for a selection of English Heritage sites. Ellen Southern draws attention to the sensory nature of visiting a heritage site, relating this to its overall significance.

Listen to Bradford​-​On​-​Avon Tithe Barn

Ellen explains in this exclusive interview… 

"For me this particularly means considering the sounds of a site – the present day acoustics and sonic idiosyncrasies which result from its particular physical history - and how each site can be experienced and interacted with using the voice."

Blueprint - Seism

Blueprint | Seism by Justin Bennett and Pascale-Sophie Kasparis 14 March – 11 April 2015

Opening: Friday 13 March, 5 - 8 pm with live performance! Gemak The Hague, NL

GEMAK presents the experimental exhibition project, BLUEPRINT | SEISM, of Justin Bennett (UK/ NL) and Pascale-Sophie Kaparis (FR). Last year the initial stages of Bennett’s city-mapping research and Kaparis’ research involving intimate processing of traumatic experiences in the brain (‘mental shapes’) were presented at Gallery Maurits van de Laar. Now, the ‘unwrapped’ sequel to this unique duo project is shown at GEMAK; ambitious, layered and experimental. The artists will both engage in a dialogue with the GEMAK space, search for mutual connections in their work and interact with musicians, who will react to the artistic work through improvisation.

Central to Justin Bennett’s presentation is the film project-in-progress Blueprint. Blueprint, made in close collaboration with a number of improvising musicians, combines hand-drawn animated city-maps and stenciled texts with a live soundtrack. During the opening there will be performances (starting at 6:30 pm) by the Amsterdam based MAZE-ensemble, with an improvisation on Bennett’s animation/visual score. The performance will be recorded so that it can be heard for the duration of the exhibition. Another version will be performed at the finissage.

Blueprint asks questions to the musicians and the audience about the links between social, urban and musical structures. The context of Blueprint is widened by the inclusion of two older works. City of Progress is another animation, this time accompanied by a spoken text which touches on the roles of architects, developers, artists and the military in urban planning. Stimmung is a sound installation documenting the intervention of the audience during a Karlheinz Stockhausen concert at the Holland Festival of 1969. We hear the music being interrupted as the audience “join in” with the musicians. The concert is stopped but then a discussion starts over music, politics and audience participation. Around these three audio-visual pieces, Bennett shows a selection of sketches and related source material for Blueprint and the other works.

Sound Installation:

A Study In Focus by Gabriel Paiuk

This installation involves the scale of loudspeakers, the spatial imprint of standardised reproduction systems, among many other threads which define affective qualities and renderings of sonic spaces which we have learned to engage with. Within this work the listener is invited to explore these multiple instances through sitting, standing and walking through the space.

TransX Transmission Art Symposium Call for Submissions

TransX Transmission Art Symposium Call for Submissions

Call for Papers, Presentations, and Performances

Deadline: February 1, 2015

New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) is pleased to announce the 2015 edition of the TransX Transmission Art Symposium May 22 - 24, 2015

We are now inviting submissions for papers, performances and workshops/tutorials:

The TransX Transmission Art Symposium, part of the Deep Wireless Festival of Radio & Transmission Art, will focus on Transmission Art, with particular interest in contributions that summarize, examine or reframe traditions and histories of transmission art practices, technology, education and pedagogy. Additionally, we are very interested in presentations that go beyond the local contingent to give a sense of how new technologies of international transmission activity might be experienced. Proposed presentations and performances that combine the themes of Transmission Art and “ Hear n o w Here” are also especially welcome (see submission details below)!

Rooted in the earliest experiments with radio, Transmission Art has continued to flourish into the 21st Century with experiments using wireless communications technology over the past 100 years, including the exploration of a variety of mobile-based platforms and lesser-known forms of transmission, such as VLF. The terrain of transmission art is dynamic and fluid, always open to redefinition.

The symposium will take place in Toronto at the Wychwood Theatre and NAISA’s facilities at the Artscape Wychwood Barns, from 22-24 May 2015.

As in preceding years, the symposium will include workshops, installations and performances also part of the annual Deep Wireless Festival of Radio and Transmission Art. At the heart of the symposium will be keynote lectures by Knut Aufermann and Sarah Washington.

All symposium contributions will be webcast live, and text proceedings will be published after the symposium on the NAISA web-site. Go tohttp://naisa.ca/symposia/trans-x/transx-2013-proceedings/ for the proceedings from the 2013 edition of the TransX Transmission Art Symposium. To listen to MP3s of past symposiums go to http://naisa.ca/media-archive/audio-archives/.

Please see below for specific guidelines on paper and performance submissions. We look forward to seeing you, your colleagues, collaborators and students in Toronto in May!

Submissions

Papers

Papers are to be presented in 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of questions and discussion. We are especially interested in paper submissions dealing with the theme “Hear n o w Here” using mobile or transmission technology. However, proposals related to any aspect of Transmission Art practice (broadly conceived, including Transmission Art practice as a part of popular culture, media art and other disciplines) are welcome.

We invite submissions for 60 minute or 90 minute workshops and tutorials. These can be targeted towards specialist techniques, platforms, hardware, software or pedagogical topics for the advancement of fellow Transmission artists and people with experience related to the topic. They can also be targeted toward visitors to the Transmission community, novices, students, and members of the public getting to know the potential of Transmission Art.

Tutorial proposals should clearly indicate the audience and assumed knowledge of their intended participants to help us attract the appropriate audience. Workshops and tutorials can relate to, but are not limited to, the topics of the symposium. This is a good opportunity to explore a topic in depth with greater time for discourse, debate, and collaboration.

Transmission Art Works / Performances Works / Performances will be presented in two possible formats, at the discretion of the committee — in a performance setting or during lecture-listening sessions alongside paper presentations, all using the same sound system and venue. Registration and attendance at the symposium is a requirement for the presentation of works / performances. Preference will be given to works by artists who are attending the symposium to present a paper or who indicate that they are prepared to lead aesthetic and / or analytical discussion of their piece in the context of a lecture-listening session.

Please specify any and all technical requirements for the performance at the time of submission. A multichannel sound system and HD video projection is available for use during performances and lecture-listening sessions. All performers, materials and instrumentation required for performance are the responsibility of the presenting participant.

Circular Permutation

10 – 18 Jan

Circular Permutation - in between negative and positive space 

Chiman Dangi, Thomas Hawranke, Matteo Maragoni, Anna Moreno, Sara Pape Garcia, Gava Pierfrancesco, Evelina Rajca, Brydee Rood, Evamaria Schaller,Johanna Steindorf, Sissel Marie Tonn,Leinkauf Wermke

© Thomas Hawranke, 2014 Genki Rocket

For the first exhibition of 2015 W139 presents a group of interdisciplinary artists who individually interpret the imprint of time on space, focusing on the interaction between observation and perception. Each work on display unfolds a different emphasis and reflection within this theme; thus creating an evolving net of expressions that complement as well as challenge each other.

Saturday the 10th of January 2015, at 19.00 the exhibition opens with performances by Matteo Marangoni, Evelina Rajca and Evamaria Schaller.

Matteo Marangoni's work Echo Moiré is a robotic opera-ballet performed by a pair speaker vehicles, using space as their musical instrument. The acoustic dynamics of the architecture of W139 will be explored by the mobile speakers, and the listeners are surrounded by various patterns of echoes rebounding off the walls.

Reasonance by Evelina Rajca represents the third chapter of her piece A Science-Fiction-Collage of the Present Past. Here, soundscapes are created by the oral cavities of performers which are used as resonance chambers, that become activated by another person’s breath.

One of the exhibited audiovisual works is Genki Rocket by Thomas Hawranke. This personal take on information is based on images of a missile test launch in the Iranian desert, which were published in 2008. They were considered as proof, documentation or forgery - depending on the eye of the beholder. Many different images of this Iranian rocket exist on the Internet, but only the Genki Rocket video provided a moving image. Its concentric circle describes a process in which the information of the image is transformed into a thought within society, and how something new can emerge from this.

With lines as “In between future and past thoughts, I am about to swim in a former stone quarry where the stones of a monument were quarried...I am swimming in a monument’s negative space; I close my eyes and imagine travelling from today to 1913 via 1813.” Sara Pape Garcia is drawing unique poetic and bewildering atmospheres which will be outlined throughout a lecture performance and a journal presentation at the finissage, Sunday 18th of January 2015 at 18.00.

Vertical Cinema at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, February 2014 (photo Pieter Kers) Holiday Reading Recommendation: Sonic Acts Research Series  Just in case you missed our recent publications, here are some titles from our Research Series that will make great holiday reading. The Sonic Acts Research Series is a series of online dossiers devoted to specific aspects of the research that Sonic Acts conducts for its activities. Commissioned texts and interviews with featured artists and speakers are combined with films and material from previous Sonic Acts events. Dark Ecology Interview Tim Morton During the first Dark Ecology journey, a group of artists, researchers and theorists travelled the border zone between Norway and Russia, from Kirkenes in Northern Norway to Nikel and Zapolyarny on the Russian Kola Peninsula. The journey, which took place from 9 to 12 October 2014, consisted of site visits in and around Kirkenes and Nikel, exhibitions, lectures, discussion, and concerts. The aim was to explore the idea of a ‘Dark Ecology’ in the context of the Barents region, with its open pit-mines, pristine nature, and the heavily polluted industrial landscape of Nikel. On the last day, Sunday 12 October, we sat down with Timothy Morton, author of amongst others The Ecological Thought and Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology After the End of the World, to reflect on the journey, his lecture and his experiences while there. Continue reading >> Erika Balsom Interview In February 2014 Sonic Acts presented the Vertical Cinema project in the Dan Flavin Hall of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. The programme included lectures on verticality in film by Philippe-Alain Michaud, Bart Rutten, Noam Elcott and Erika Balsom. Their lectures referred to many examples of the use of verticality in moving images from the history of film, contemporary arts, theatre and nineteenth-century visual spectacles. They made clear that Vertical Cinema could expand in many directions, and that it resonates with several tendencies in the contemporary culture of moving images. We used the opportunity to pose some questions to film scholar Erika Balsom. Continue reading >> Hillel Schwartz on Noise and Emergency Hillel Schwartz is the author of the impressive study Making Noise: From Babel to the Big Bang and Beyond (Zone Books, 2011). In this book he traces the cultural history of ‘noise’, from the fall of the Tower of Babel and the uproar of the gods in Babylonian epics to crying infants heard on baby phones, the static of shortwave radio, the Big Bang, amplifier feedback, and announcements over public broadcasting systems. It covers an astounding range of cultural material, from the significance of the word ‘noise’ in sixteenth-century poetry to ideas about noise abatement. In 2012 we invited him to speak at the Sonic Acts festival. He delivered a talk structured as a series of non-rhyming sonnets: Emergency in 17 Sonnets. It centred on the questions: ‘In emergency, what do we hear, and how? / When time’s of the essence, what sounds keep us honest?’ Drilling Deep / Knowledge from Underground Until 2008, the Kola Superdeep Borehole near the Norwegian–Russian border was the deepest borehole in the world. Deep drilling is like inserting a telescope into the Earth. If you extract drill cores, you can see what is down there. And in that light no borehole is as legendary as the Kola Superdeep. Drilling began in the 1970s in the framework of the former Soviet Union’s programme ‘Investigation of the Continental Crust by Means of Deep Drilling’. The deepest of its boreholes, the SG-3, reached a final depth of 12,262 metres in 1989. Now it is a ruin. Sonic Acts’ Arie Altena researched the Kola Superdeep Borehole. 

Erkki Huhtamo on Verticality Last January, Sonic Acts invited pioneering media archaeologist Erkki Huhtamo to give a lecture at the Vertical Cinema event at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Huhtamo is a leading expert in forgotten nineteenth-century media such as the moving panorama and magic lantern shows. After ten years of work, his book Illusions in Motion was finally published in 2013 by MIT Press, the perfect moment to ask him to talk about verticality in the history of the moving image. Prior to his lecture, Arie Altena interviewed him on behalf of Sonic Acts and asked him about his approach to media archaeology, his book Illusions in Motion, and about verticality in film. Science Fiction by Omar Muñoz-Cremers and ARC Sonic Acts commissioned the short science fiction story The Absence of Light from Omar Muñoz-Cremers for the afternoon event on space debris in early 2014. The story is combined with the video documentation of the 2013 panel ‘How to Imagine the Future?’ that we organised with Simon Ings of ARC – ‘a magazine of futures and fiction from the makers of New Scientist’. Four writers, Frank Swain, Tim Maugham, Simon Ings and Alastair Reynolds, all of them ‘steeped’ in science fiction – though not pure SF writers in a narrow genre-based sense – examined different aspects of imagining the unknown.

PARTY WITH ANONYMOUS

[sonicstudies]

transeuropa2015 is a European festival for performing arts established in 1994. The 8th edition will take place from 27.05. – 01.06.2015 in Hildesheim, Germany. The aim of transeuropa is to support young performing artists in their artistic work. The festival team, consisting of eight students, searches for an intensive collaboration with artists and art-collectives. 

transeuropa2015 wants to discuss common understandings of labour and today’s conditions and contexts of work in the arts: How do we want to work (in future)? Next to this main question the festival asks: How can artists develop alternative concepts of labour? What do young artists expect and demand from future work relations? 

Against the background of those questions transeuropa2015 presents a program of guest performances, residencies and participatory projects. The central part of the program is a two-day transdisciplinary congress involving artists, theorists and experts from various fields to discuss contemporary and future conditions of work in the arts and beyond.

transeuropa2015 offers several artist groups the possibility to develop a new work that will be shown at the festival. For each residency there will be a call for projects, announced in 2014. 

The >sound/residency< asks artists working with sound and music to develop renewed formats of staging music. The call adresses those who want to rethink the parameters that determine the performance of music. (APPLICATION TILL 07.01.2015)
