Episode description

This piece is a reflection on the concept of space as sound. Space understood not as a visual concept, but as an auditory one, as the connective tissue between all of the objects in the world, carried to the perimeter and to the center. A voluminous environment that emerges from an exquisite global polyphony. 
This piece was inspired by Mathias Hinke's lesson 'Demonstrations and fun cultures' which explores the role of sound in specific non-musical social settings and practices.

Manchester political rally reimagined by M.Cristina Marras.

Speaker 1

How do you navigate space? Are you inside it? Outside it? Or Somewhere. Somewhere else. I said space, but I meant sound. You know, for us, eye dominant species, the concept of space is usually translated into visuals. But space is sound. The sound that we make together in the world, sound that creates a global composition. Because you see, sound is a connection. Sound brings us together intimately in listening and sound making. We are almost never aware, but we do create an astounding polyphony.

Sound is the connective tissue between all of the objects, everything that you see, feel, hear, and touch. Sound is carried to the perimeter, to the center. Sometimes it is uttered and understood. Other times it is interpreted by an individual passing by. Who decides what is going to sound? Is there a collective exercise? Does somebody decide this is what it is going to be done, chanted, shouted. So are you inside it, outside it, or somewhere else?
