*4- **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
historical sound material. Tazelaar describes his experiences as head of
the magnetic tape archive at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, in
which nostalgia coexists with academic rigor.

*10- EN CRISIS #4. Reflections at a critical juncture: Daniela Ortiz,
Marcelo Expósito and Miguel Noguera. *

about what is happening to us, to comment on the positive and negative
implications of this structural crisis, and to imagine an uncertain future.
