Forte Marghera is a historical military fortress in Mestre, 10 km from Venice, IT. We were invited by Live Arts Cultures as artists in residence at the C32 Gallery Space. During our stay we recorded Forte Marghera’s dynamic sonic environment and created a sound installation in an abandoned water tower.
Live Arts Cultures is an association based in Venice that organizes residencies, performances and promotes performing arts: particularly dance, music, performing arts and new technologies.
We created a soundscape combining horn, live electronics and recordings of crickets. The crickets were recorded outside of the warehouse which connected to the C32 Gallery Workspace. We performed with noise/experimental sound artist Alessandro Ragazzo in a vast warehouse space surrounded by candlelight.
We are currently at Forte Marghera, a historical military fortress in Mestre, 10 km from Venice, IT. We were invited by Live Arts Cultures as artists in residence at the C32 Gallery Space. We are creating portable sound installations in various locations within the fort. We will also create a performance combining field recordings collected from the fortress, horn and live electronics.
We stayed in Zurich between August 16-22nd with our friend Nik from Sound Development City and Hula Honeys. There we explored the city, made recordings and worked on upcoming installations.
We went to Einsiedeln, a Benedictine monastery in the town of Einsiedeln on Sunday, August 17 with our friends Nik and Jenny. The abbey is dedicated to Our Lady of the Hermits. We entered the cathedral during the most beautiful blessing- hymns sung by a choir of 10 monks and an organ. We recorded it, and will post it soon.
