Soundscape and field recording workshops: show

On Friday May 6th, the Presentes Densos working group. Around the arts of living on a damaged planet presents the results of the soundscape and field recording workshops that have been carried out within the cycle.

The results will be exhibited as a sound installation, created in situ by the working group itself and the artist, Edu Comelles. The installation is created using the sound recordings that the participants of the cycle have taken in different areas of the Albufera Natural Park (Tancat de Mília, Tancat de la Pipa, la Devesa, el Racó de l’Olla), at different times of year (autumn, winter and spring) and at different times (from a night recording and from a distance, to a dawn chorus of birds).

The soundscape workshops were led by María del Castillo, Kamen Nedev and Edu Comelles. The aim of these workshops consists, above all, of putting our listening skills into practice: in being able to “pay attention to the silence that a blackbird’s song can bring into existence”, as Vinciane Despret said, but “acknowledging the importance of silence”.
