Urban Camp
Five days, five artists, five senses
Found Sound / Esteban de la Torre
Sound incites presence. Sonorous phenomena only exist on the verge of becoming something else. As it unfolds, sound constitutes space and articulates time. We are constantly surrounded by ever changing complex soundscapes. The chaotic noise from our city is mostly numbed out by its inhabitants. The busy streets with its busking traffic set an invisible rhythm to our daily commute. What happens if we stay still for a moment and just listen? What is hidden and becomes apparent if we allow ourselves to fully stop and observe the intricate layers of sound that exist everywhere around us? Will we find music? Does music reside on the creator, or rather on the perceiver?
During the workshop we will use tools to explore and capture the sound of our environment, from onsite field recordings, delicate micro sounds to electromagnetic field sensing. In the spirit of musique concrète, these recordings will be selected, edited and mangled by the participants resulting in a final sound performance.
