“City Noise”: Sound (Art) and Disaster
(2017)

My sonic work “City Noise” proposes both an artistic and a theoretical approach to the city-sound relationship. The default assumption about this relationship is that sounds reflect a one-to-one relationship between soundscape and landscape, both drawing upon and revealing the physical and social landscapes from which they originate. However, the question can be posed regarding whether there actually is a direct relationship between sound and place in our increasingly globalized world. Due to this globalization, the relation between the local and the global has become more fluid, and the relation between sounds and scapes has begun to blur.

NOISE
A SONIC CHOREOGRAPHY WITH LIVE COMPOSING
Series of performance pieces. Each one is the result of a site-specific creation and research laboratory. The creation laboratories are focused on a specific city or location and on its inhabitants.
The first version of NOISE was created and executed in the city of Kitakyushu, Fukuoka prefecture, Japan.
VOL.1 NOISE - KITAKYUSHU
NOISE is an approach and a perception of a city, neighbourhood, town or area through the sounds that the space itself and its inhabitants generate.
From this sound material, movement and body perceptions are generated. They will later be developed to create the choreographic piece.
The composition in real time is organised through the language of Soundpainting. The entire soundpainting encoding is used to extract, analyse, dissect and sort all the sound and visual material that can be found in the apparent chaos of metropolitan and natural spaces.
