#soundart — Public Fediverse posts

Last week's contribution to the #DisquietJunto. I was trying to record the birds as I played a sound sculpture outside. One of my cats had other ideas. She likes to get involved.

10:43 Workshop performance of a new dance piece by Olwen Grindley incorporating a sonically reactive space and music by sound artist Fran Hegarty. The dancers can trigger sonic events by connecting the copper strips on the floor with their bodies. Sometimes they do this alone. At other times, each of them connects with one copper strip, and the sonic event occurs the moment they touch each other.

Giornata Mondiale dell’Ascolto

La Giornata Mondiale dell’Ascolto è una di quelle ricorrenze che sembrano semplici, ma in realtà aprono universi: suoni, silenzi, rumori che raccontano storie, città che respirano, persone che si rivelano. È la festa delle orecchie, ma anche del cuore.

Dal 2010, grazie al World Listening Project, il 18 luglio è dedicato a celebrare l’arte dell’ascolto in tutte le sue forme: ambientale, sociale, emotiva. Ogni anno un tema diverso invita a riflettere sul nostro rapporto con il paesaggio sonoro che ci circonda.

🎧 2026: “Echoes of Tomorrow”

Quest’anno il tema è futuristico e poetico: “Echoes of Tomorrow”, un invito a immaginare come i suoni di oggi influenzeranno il mondo di domani. Che traccia sonora stiamo lasciando alle generazioni future? E cosa succede se impariamo ad ascoltare con più attenzione?

Le iniziative del 2026 sono un piccolo concerto globale:

• Milano inaugura la prima Sound Marathon: 12 ore di ascolti guidati tra parchi, tram, mercati e cortili nascosti.
• A Londra, eco‑artisti registrano “le voci delle piante” con sensori bioacustici.
• In Canada, nasce Ear to the Future, una mappa sonora mondiale costruita dalle registrazioni inviate dagli ascoltatori.
• In Giappone, alcune aziende introducono la “pausa di ascolto consapevole”: cinque minuti di silenzio prima delle riunioni. Pare funzioni meglio del caffè.

🔍 Ma perché esistono due date diverse?

Se hai notato che Perfettamente Chic ha già pubblicato un altro articolo sulla Giornata dell’Ascolto il 21 ottobre, non è un errore: esistono due celebrazioni distinte, spesso confuse tra loro.

Ecco la differenza:

• 18 luglio – World Listening Day È la giornata ufficiale del World Listening Project, dedicata al paesaggio sonoro, alla bioacustica, all’ascolto dell’ambiente e alla consapevolezza sonora globale.
• 21 ottobre – World Day of Listening È una ricorrenza più recente, nata da iniziative educative e sociali che promuovono l’ascolto empatico, il dialogo, la comunicazione consapevole e la capacità di “sentire davvero” le persone. Non riguarda i suoni del mondo, ma le relazioni umane.

In pratica:

🎧 luglio ascolta il mondo, 💬 ottobre ascolta le persone.

E sì, esistono anche altre micro‑iniziative locali dedicate all’ascolto (festival, soundwalk day, listening labs), ma le due date principali sono queste.

🎙️ Curiosità chic che arricchiscono la storia

• Il primo World Listening Day del 2010 coinvolse più di 50 città in simultanea.
• Nel 2017 furono registrate le famose “dune che cantano” in Australia.
• Nel 2021 si scoprì che alcune tartarughe marine comunicano con micro‑vibrazioni.
• Nel 2024 Parigi dedicò una mostra ai “suoni perduti” della storia.

🧘‍♀️ Come partecipare oggi

• Spegni tutto per un minuto e ascolta la tua casa: ha una sinfonia segreta.
• Fai una mini soundwalk nel quartiere.
• Registra un suono che ami e condividilo.
• Oppure… ascolta davvero qualcuno. È rivoluzionario.

Tentatively planning booking some events soon - improvised music, live electronics, noise, sound art, experimental performance. It will be in a small local venue, and possibly also include some kind of workshops/skill sharing thing. I want it to be accessible to new folks to the scene and build a bit of sense of community.
Here is a poll of some potential names for the series. What do you think?

Two gardens. Two cities. One evening of listening. At Liebigstr. 12, Berlin Friedrichshain

#soundwalk #fieldrecording #audiostreaming #reveil #soundtrackcity #berlin #amsterdam #westkreuz #allotment #urbanSound #experimentalsound #soundart (4/4)

I began with a field recording from traveling in Kochi: a tuk‑tuk idling, not performing, just breathing in place. Inside that rough, everyday sound I heard a stubborn groove — a syncopated pulse that felt less like traffic and more like a drumline hiding in plain sight.

I let AI excavate the motor from the recording, not to sterilize it, but to reveal its inner rhythm. The machine’s “punches” emerged as layered time: a fast chug and a slower accent, a beat nested inside a beat. That mechanical pattern became my score.

Next I translated the engine into percussion. Using three drum samples, AI rebuilt the tuk‑tuk’s timing as a playable composition: one hit for the rapid pulse, one for the accents, one for the heavy downbeats. The piece begins as documentary sound — the motor alone — then the drums fade in like a second reality arriving. For a while both worlds coexist, braided together. After second 25, the field recording dissolves in beat‑synced fades, leaving a more regular, dance‑leaning groove. Near the end, the motor returns like a ghost reentering its own story, and the track closes with a grand finale.

Visually, I anchored everything to a single image and pushed it through an AI‑driven psychedelic lens: posterized color, trippy rainbow shifts, motion locked to the beat. The title — “Mythical / Tuktuk / Beats” — sits centered inside a dark blue‑purple panel, its fractal edges blooming on the strongest hits, turning sound into a living frame.

A small act of alchemy: Kochi’s street‑engine becomes rhythm, rhythm becomes vision, and the everyday becomes myth — made entirely through AI, guided by my listening.

STOCHASTIC ASYMMETRY - for eruptive harsh noise assault patterns

The STOCHASTIC ASYMMETRY is a machine to generate glitched-out eruptive noise assault patterns. it is a signal generator for those who are interested in exploring the harsher spectrum of experimental noise making. STOCHASTIC ASYMMETRY can be the base battery for any anti-fascist noise resistance set-up and running it through a chain of manipulating EFX will lead to massive sonic results. Simply put… 5 square wave oscillators of which 2 are LFOs generate complex waveforms which are getting further effected by a starve control, a distortion and a resonant low pass filter.

Of course nothing really is simple, so here are more details:

WAVING:
Each of the 3 square wave oscillators has a FREQUENCY potentiometer for controling pitch, a RANGE toggle switch to select 2 different frequency ranges, a MODE toggle switch that enables latch or trigger mode and a TRIGGER button switch, as well as a orange indicator LED. In trigger mode, the oscillator is mixed into the signal only momentary as long as the trigger is depressed. But be aware, the machine has a non-linear response in the trigger section and sometimes an oscillator raises it’s voice even when you did not engage it with the trigger, that is part of the fun and it can get less out of control depending on the starve setting. when the oscillator’s LED is on it’s LED is on and it might or might not switch off when you repress the trigger, but as said, this function is highly stochastic and i have not been able to predict it (a lesson for control freaks!). All three oscillators have different ranges, higher on the left and lowering towards the right. A MIX toggle switch selects linear or non linear mixing, the non-linear mixing is a bit more uneven and noisy.

MODULATING:
Each of the 2 LFOs has a SPEED control and similar to the other oscillators a MODE toggle switch and when in trigger mode the LFO can be activated temporally, which is most interesting when running in higher speeds for tremolo-like effects or high pitch noise assaults in the highest setting.

SOUNDSHAPING:
the signal generated with oscillators with or without LFOs is shaped by two more controls, which are highly depending on other setting on the machine, so they as well, do not have a fully linear response. the EDGE control works like a distortion, that adds more sharp edges to the waveform, resulting in ‘higher harmonics’, while the CURVE control acts like a resonant low pass filter that rounds off the already very 'edgy’ squarewave forms and it has slight self-resonance. Both of these controls are as such not affected by the power-starve function, but works differently the more the oscillator section is starved. With very much starving (STARVE counterclockwise) the CURVE control can generate almost electro-acoustic sounding crunch and hiss for example (see demovideo). Of course there is also a VOLUME control that lets you tame the output level.

STARVING:
The STARVE control regulates the power that is accessible to the IC that is used for the 5 oscillators and when one turns it down (CCW) the different oscillators start to get more stochastic in their functions so the generated waveform becomes more noisy. Turning STARVE counterclockwise also has a global scale effect, it lowers the pitch of the three oscillators and the speed of the LFOs, but at the same time it also introduces high pitched noises and clicks. Similar to the other trigger functions on this machine there is also a POWER toggle switch, that is either in latch mode or activates the power trigger mode, which interacts with the STARVE function. When starve is up (CW) the decay time of the oscillators using up the available power is faster, while when STARVE is low the decay is longer, while the oscillators get less power in total.

CONNECTING:
STOCHASTIC ASYMMETRY runs on 12V DC (positive inside/negative outside, 2.1mm standard socket) and unless otherwise communicated it ships with a suitable recycled PSU with euro-plug. The audio output is a standard 6.3mm mono instrument jack socket, but beware that due to the special enclosures it might not work with angled plugs.

The first batch of STOCHASTIC ASYMMETRY is build into enclosures found in an abandoned car repair shop in turku. Originally they were some kind of 'black box’ engine data-read-out ports and are now painted with the 'industrial burn-out’ camo pattern in chrome and black. Handmade by GRM for METSÄÄN.
