Synopsis/Resume/Descripción : My artistic intention with this piece was to convey the nostalgia that comes with the passing of time. This was depicted through the use of MIDI sampling techniques which mimic the ticking sound of a clock. As the piece progresses, this ticking can be heard to be layered, creating a sense of momentum as ‘time’ progresses. Panning effects were also used on this ticking sound to create a notion of the piece surrounding the listener, in almost a circular motion like how time can be perceived. I placed this sound at the start and end to create structure in the piece which can be heard to end with the ticking sound and the sound of a crash, reversed to indicate what could be, the sudden feeling of one’s time stopping. I also incorporated sounds which reminded me of nature such as thunder and rain to play in the background. This adds to the ambient feel of the piece and also, symbolises how time passes with nature. The melody and synthesised sounds were produced also through MIDI sampling and were incorporated to encapsulate the feelings of nostalgia associated with the passing of time. Through this technique, I looped the synthesiser which can be heard at the start to create a subtle beat to depict the forward momentum of time.

Pays/Country/País : Germany
Type/Tipo : Experimental
Synopsis/Resume/Descripción : The shore is my place of homecoming. Windstring is a short form experimental recomposition of Nyokabi Kariũki’s Equator song. In this piece, I layered vocals, synth, and a field recording from the beach in Mantoloking, NJ, near where I grew up. Windstring captures the exact moment when my classical guitar harmonised its own strings in the wind, without playing a note. Similar to blowing into the top of an empty bottle and hearing the sound reverberate. May the unexpected sounds bring us home.

Synopsis/Resume/Descripción : “Glaneuses et Vers de Terre” is a collection of research practices by choreographer Emilie Gallier, visual artist Nina Boas and artist/editor Nienke Terpsma on ways of being with landscape as we are absorbed within it rather than as a detached spectacle. These 60 sec. are a re-digestion of some materials gleaned for “Gleaners and the Worms, or Book Worms and the Worm Book”, a 60 min. performance in spring 2023. Part of it was a grafting of living soil. You hear bits of a conversation between Emilie and living soils gardener Cyril Gallier, a bird that can count to 11, streetsounds of Rotterdam, voice, Blippo Box and Qbird.
