*2- INTERRUPTIONS #11. Playing phenomena as a compositional material.
Curated by Ben Vida*
*
*This mix explores how the use of aural phenomena can manifest in its many
forms to become the key element in a compositional practice. By engaging in
the use of such expanded sonic techniques the composer can act to create a
recalibration of the listeners sense of hearing and by so doing, allow for
a reconsideration of what constitutes sonic composition.

*8- MEMORABILIA. COLLECTING SOUNDS WITH... Kees Tazelaar. Part I
*
Straddling art and documentation, the restoration work that Kees Tazelaar
carries out is a crucial but largely unknown stage in the recovery of

the magnetic tape archive at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, in
which nostalgia coexists with academic rigor.

*10-PROBES #2. Curated by Chris Cutler
*
All the 'normal' music we listen to is out of tune, especially when it’s
'in tune'. So, should music be in harmony with the laws of physics, or
adjusted to fit the wishful thinking of stave notation?

*
*Perejaume has a long-standing fascination with the shamanic power of
