Kritzkom – Northern Island 2015

Robin Meier et Andre Gwerder – Extrait de l’installation Synchronicity (ArtBasel 2015, Volkshaus Basel, Suisse)
Synchronicity is an installation exploring the emergence of natural cycles and synchrony inside an artificial biosphere. Live fireflies and crickets are made to flash and chirp in unison with two synchronising pendulums by manipulating the insect’s behaviour through lights and sounds. Inspired by this synchrony an array of electronic devices join the chorus and start to flicker, buzz or move in sync.

Sonic Wild Code – To Be Without Being And Still Exist 2015
3min excerpt of a wilderness performance during the Hybrid Matters’ Field Notes camp in Kilpisjärvi, Samiland 2015 with the ‘Sonic Wild Code’ group [ltr: Anja Erdmann, Till Bovermann, Kristina Lindström, Erich Berger, Antye Greie-Ripatti, Caspar Ström, Vygandas Simbelis, Dinah Bird]
Location at the border between Norway and Finland near Kilpisjarvi, some off-road no-mans-land: playing the field, amplifying the landscape with musical intention. When we showed this film to a local Sami reindeer herder he was very fascinated and titled the piece by saying: Be without being but still exist.
The original performance is 20 min long.

Francisco Lopez – La Selva (Excerpt) 1998
La Selva is an immersion into the sound environments of a tropical rain forest in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica. An astonishing natural sonic web created by a multitude of sounds from rain, waterfalls, insects, frogs, birds, mammals and even plants, through a day cycle during the rainy season. A powerful acousmatic broad-band sound environment of thrilling complexity. And above all, a tour de force of profound listening”.

Much against a widespread current trend in sound art and the customary standard in nature recordings, I believe in the possibility of a profound, pure, ‘blind’ listening of sounds, freed (as much as possible) of procedural, contextual or intentional levels of reference. What is more important, I conceive this as an ideal form of transcendental listening that doesn’t denies all what is outside the sounds but explores and affirms all what is inside them. This purist, absolute conception is an attempt at fighting against the dissipation of this inner world.
