detailed program notes:

Disjunctive Locales

The following audio sequence by Mehrnaz, Farah, Richard, Ján, Marco, 
David, Ghaith and Hilde was realized during Raviv Ganchrow's Aural 
Tectonics workshop at the Institute of Sonology, The Hague, in the 
spring of 2021. Aural Tectonics explores the site-specificity and 
context-dependency of in-situ sound by fostering a critical awareness 
of, and attitudes towards, environmental ambiance. Founded in 
a practice-based approach, the workshop develops situated strategies 
for listening, recording, sound montage and mapping as well as 
experimental approaches to situated sound synthesis and site-specific 
sound intervention. Each year, a particular site is chosen around which 
a sequence of intensive projects are developed, fostering diverse 
approaches to 'hearing place' and encouraging individual approaches 
towards hearing contextual ambiance and the spatial agency of situated 
sounds.

This year Aural Tectonics took place under the duress of the third-wave 
in Covid's global pandemic. Convening entirely online, the group 
investigated affordances (and limitations) of interlinked presences and 
geographically distributed locales through shared experiences of 
solitary listening. Confined to each participant's immediate surrounds, 
the group partially responded to the unprecedented circumstances by 
examining the agency of locally sited hearing and dislocated yet 
interleaved simultaneities. The result is a sonorous collection of 
disjunctive locales linking situated trembling from the Netherlands to 
Germany to Sardinia to Turkey. The resulting sonic montage, mediated 
through audio (and video) transductions, presents an attentive fragment 
from a much larger transductive patchwork that continues to unfold in 
the quarantined and intensely mediated site of global online streaming.

Participants: David Andriani, Mehrnaz Khorrami Ghaziani, Richard Hughes,

Behind the Wall

This piece represents the sound recording of various times and events of 
daily life for a small group of people sharing the same house. The 
chosen house is considered the base zone with three recording locations. 
These three locations constituted a triangulation data collection. The 
piece is composed of the fragments of the recorded sound, based on the 
events taking place, and describes what I hear and see. Events within 
the piece include moments where I breathe and hold my breath and 
flashbacks of time. The intension of the piece is to find relationships 
between the activities and individuals who live within the shared space. 
It explores how individuals hear each other, their behaviors, and the 
rhythm they unconsciously compose over time. Occasionally, these 
activities overlap each other or follow one another.

Eventually, what we hear is not what we imagine in our minds. Our 
experiences depend on our perceptions, our choices and our senses.

Turscar

Sometime between Sunday the 7th and Monday the 8th of March, a large 
heap of seaweed and rubbish was disposed of by the sea at Scheveningen 
north pier, The Hague. It took until Friday the 12th for the rough sea 
and high winds to clear and disperse the heap.

This brief environment invited birds of many varieties and excluded the 
habitual humans to this location. Although now the location has returned 
to what it once was.

The Irish language provides some words to describe a situation like this.

 Turscar - cast-up dead seaweed :: Bruscar - human rubbish  :: Tuaim - 
noise (naturally occurring) :: Torann - human noise

The sound aims to blur the source between human and ‘natural’ rubbish 
and noise.

Kotti Soundwalk

This recording thematises my daily walk routines across the neighborhood 
and the variety of sonic events interacting with my body that shape the 
everyday social reality.

RoadTrip

I often take my car going to the town center or to the countryside and 
I’ve always been fascinated by the noises and the vibrations that it 
reproduces and how the different sounds coming from the surroundings 
interact with and mutate the audible atmosphere within the car.

wind_traffic_water and time

The piece is a 2-channels cut-up composition of environmental sounds 
recorded while exploring the industrial zone of Binckhorst in Den Haag. 
Time-stretch processing has been used to capture certain moments or 
details occurring during the walk in order to allow the listener to 
better focus on their sound qualities.

Habitat 0.01

Habitat 0.01 is fertile. It grows, eternally. The soil is brought from 
the upper layer of a ground that touches the edges of a pond. The air 
tunnels through the tubing made by worms on the insides of the muddy 
earth to feed the roots of the potentially sprouting greens. Algae creep 
from the bottom of the water, swimming up, reaching to the light. The 
beach sand lays a bed for the water not to soak the ground.

Revisiting Habitat 0.01 in a matter of a month or two, a new context 
will be found; endlessly growing atmospheres.

The installation is an alive context in which an atmosphere resides. 
This atmosphere is not a recreation or an imitation of a formerly 
perceived experience, but rather an Aura in itself. It had been 
constructed as a first result of an undergone -- still ongoing-- 
research on the interrelated interactions of the elements of an 
unintended atmosphere, with a great -- rather unavoidable-- respect to 
the experiencer’s perceptive presence in it.

a gallery of anamorphic impressions in fluid frames

The composition consists of impressions that have been found in field 
recordings from a roof terrace in Gazi, Yenimahalle, Ankara. From 
several hours of recordings I chose parts based on their recurrence in 
the environment and their varying distance from the roof terraces. I 
framed each impression in different durations and band filters in order 
to bring out the different sonic qualities and the sonic objects that 
occur within them.

As the piece progresses, a relationship between the frames begins to 
appear. Perhaps not in a vertical sense, but over memory of the previous 
impression and what was different or similar with what we hear before or 
after.
