Dim the lights, this session requires one of our senses above all: your ears. A much-needed chance to give your video-call-worn eyes a break, here is an opportunity to embark on an acoustic journey exclusively composed for this session of live field recordings from more than 60 cities and rural spaces all across the globe. Collected by sound enthusiasts during the times of the pandemic, this spatial and temporal trip is not unlike a dream. Yet it is also a wake-up call that invites us to actively question what we hear when we listen with intent. In the second half of the session, the sound designers explain how their sonic database came into being before conversing in more detail about the social and political aspects of their craft. Here, listening is no passive act, but an experience of contingency, wrapped in a dreamlike state.
