radio in between spaces
edition #12
With ELEFTHERIOS KRYSALIS, MEIRA ASHER
“Sound is an important science for them” by Eleftherios Krysalis is a hybrid piece between electroacoustic composition and radio feature and outcome of a research on the topic of “Politics of Listening: soundscapes from Ramallah, Palestine”. Processed and raw field recordings together with interviews by people who are living or live once in the area are being used to narrate and question the soundscape of the area and its changes due to the political situation and the continuously changing reality.
Meira Asher will present her radio composition “North Jordan Valley 2018” focused on the evacuation and demolition orders issued to the Palestinian communities by the Israeli Civil Administration. The orders are vocallised throughout the piece. Meira Asher studied at the California Institute of the Arts and the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. As a composer and performer she researches and includes Activist Social Documentary and the Amplification of the Human Body.
Sonic Perspectives from the Global South. Sounding Hospitalities. Time, Sound and Emancipatory Practices. Radio as Activism.
In sonic lectures, live performances, conversations, compositions, documentaries, and radio plays, radio in between spaces is exploring the interplay of sound, public and private space, activist and artistic practice. International sound artists and experimental musicians, philosophers and theorists, critics and journalists examine questions of foreignness and proximity, solidarity and dissonance, vibration and materiality, meaning and noise, permeability and resistance.
