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.
Äänen Lumo organized a show for us in Vapaan Taiteen Tila, or ‘Free Space for Art,’ a former bomb shelter in the area of Sörnäinen, Helsinki. In collaboration with Adam Basanta we presented our most recent performance for horn, field recordings and incandescent light bulbs. We have been developing this piece over the past 2 years and have performed it in various resonant spaces (Mãe D’Água, Bain St-Michel and McGill MMR). We are excited to create new compositions and installations after this tour.
