MAY 2017 ELLIE GA In September of 2007 Ellie Ga joined the Tara, a research vessel drifting in the upper reaches of the Arctic. The Tara was the second boat in history constructed to purposefully drift indefinitely in the frozen sea. Ellie joined the crew of ten, as the only artist on board, for the last half-year of the expedition. She maintained a close conversation with us, reporting with sounds, images and texts via email and the occasional satellite phone call. These are some excerpts from Ga’s sound dispatches from the Arctic. Last Day of Sun, October 2007 Map Intro, October 2007 Map Part 2, ...

APRIL 2018 LYOTA YAGI Audio from Sound Sphere, 2011, 5 min. 14 sec. Audio from an installation consisting of cassette tape wound around a spherical object and a device to play its sound. There is no start nor end of the tape on the sphere and it continues to move randomly, emitting noises. Varying sizes of globes are covered with a length of time that is proportional to their surface area. When linear time is wound around a sphere, it is deprived of the relationship between place and time, and thus also loses its meaning (or in other words, causes meaning to arise). Temporal ...

MAY 2018 KABIR CARTER Underperformances, 2015 Underperformances, 2018 Underperformances, 2015 Underperformances, 2018 Underperformances, 2018 Underperformances, 2018 Underperformances, 2015 A series of recorded excerpts of repeated movements and gestures associated with Underperformances. Underperformances is an ongoing exploration of architectural acoustics that is driven by the interaction of a microphone, mixer, loudspeakers, and my body with select rooms and other resonant environments. Instead of serving as documentation of past performances, the sounds included here have been recorded with minimal resonant properties and function as a surplus or residue to actual performances. They focus on the textures of my skin, and fabrics and materials (including pants, shirts, socks, shoes, and gloves). Realizations ...

As a Deaf mother, sharing these sounds is a very personal gesture.

NOVEMBER 2018 SEAN J PATRICK CARNEY Autumn Meditation — Screedle / Relax / Study [10-min] *EXTREME *AMBIENT *MINDFULNESS Sean J Patrick Carney, 2018 Website-specific sound collage, 10 min. 1 sec. Part ASMR. Part tantric rhythm. Part guided reverie. Find a quiet place. Put on your headphones. Sink into the textural energy of the third season. This is a custom fall meditation for inner power. On Election Day. At family gatherings. While navigating the thinning veil between this world and the next. Tap into your changing self during the most transformational time of the year. Death is a first step in cycles to come.

JANUARY 2019 EMILIE PISCHEDDA Tamales, 2019 20 min. 11 sec. Tamales is a cross between the real and the existing. Recordings from journeys, sound wanderings, like a perpetual road-trip in which sometimes the radio interferes and lets us discover pieces of music. We find ourselves more precisely in Mexico with Tamales, between street vendors, police, weavers and blind singing between nod to jazz, techno and interlope genres. A trip in a car with open windows rolling towards nowhere in particular, just moving. Tracklist Mr Tc – Soundtrack for Strangers Plankton Wat – Song of Winter Death Rabih Abou-Khalil – The Sphinx And I SOAP KILLS – Galbi All other sounds are ...
