About workshop: First part of the workshop consists of listening to some examples of field sensing and recordings and building 2 DIY home-made transducers: a strong contact mic and an electromagnetic sensor. On the second part of the workshop participants will took an indoor and outdoor tours and experience field sensing and recording of electromagnetic fields and subacuatic and atmospheric sounds in spaces that function as sound filters and spaces listened across the elements that compose them. They will also simultaneous use the 2 transducers while finding a place where the electromagnetic, sub-acuatic an atmospheric fields can be listened to simultaneously. The workshop is based on mentors essay Residuos Sonoros Invisibles y Continuidad // Sonic Debris and Continuity. Available here.

About mentor: Chrs Galarreta (Peru) is very active in the South American experimental scene since 1995. Founder member of the independent label and association Aloardi and of bands like DiosMeHaViolado, Evamuss, Azucena Kantrix, Tica, Garrapata, Ninguna Ninfula, Miasma, 50 Otages among others. The sublime and the uncertainty are present in his actions, he gets them using broken electrical appliances, homemade audiovisual instruments, field streamings, field recordings, feedback systems, the induction of errors in the software-hardware and in the way to play musical instruments. He transduce imperceptible physical phenomena for humans to an audible dimension (as electromagnetic fields or sub-acuatic sounds). He is mostly interested in the exploration of the aforementioned interfaces and auto-regulated systems to apply them to create inmersive experiences, experimental songs and de-compositions, hacking the human perception of space-time as a form of civil disobedience and social auto-reorganization. Today he lives between France and Netherlands and continues developing his independent projects, researches and studies in the Institute of Sonology of the Royal Conservatoire and in the “Stichting Centrum” – VillaKabila at Den Haag.
