Environmental sound practices – SOUNDER & Michael Harenberg + Teresa Carrasco [venue TBC]
November 3, 2021
This event will take place online.
Sound Art Brighton presents an evening exploring environmental and ecological practices in contemporary sound art. The event features a performance lecture with composers Teresa Carrasco (ES) and Michael Harenberg (DE) who lead the Sound Arts programme at the Bern University of the Arts. Notable research by Harenberg is on the impact of sound on ripening cheese with sonication and Carrasco’s research is on bio-acoustics. This will be followed by a listening session from SOUNDER (UK/CH), who will present their ‘Sonic Postcards’ project: an exchange of audio snapshots of environmental sounds between Brighton and Bern. SOUNDER have been artists in residence with Sound Art Brighton during October 2021, here they will share the results of their in-person collaboration.
SOUNDER is an international collaboration exploring the sounds of Bern, Switzerland and Brighton, UK, founded by artists Esme Wright (UK), Hal Kelly (UK), Flurina Mia Häberli (CH) and Stefano Christen (CH) in 2020. Their project explores the sonic characteristics of Bern and Brighton (two locations recognised as UNESCO biospheres); addressing environmental issues through an inclusive sound art practice. SOUNDER utilises digital technologies to promote awareness of our local sonic environments.
The event will be live streamed 17:00–19:00. LINK TBC
Environmental Sound Practices is curated by Sound Art Brighton, an independent initiative that celebrates the presence of sound art in Brighton, UK.
