Program:
I. Diviso in due by Cristian Gabriele Argento
Diviso in due by Cristian Gabriele Argento explores a panic attack’s inner landscape, blending natural sounds from a botanical garden with emotional turbulence. The piece invites introspection, revealing fragility and resilience. The garden becomes a sonic sanctuary—a bridge between inner chaos and healing—reminding us that even in despair, renewal and peace remain possible.

II. Transcription: LoveLanguageLoss by Linda Rae Dornan
Transcription: LoveLanguageLoss by Linda Rae Dornan is an audio art piece about dementia and caregiving recorded over many years as I cared for my partner, John Asimakos. The journal I kept was too emotionally difficult to read so I eventually transcribed it backwards to alleviate my own response. Transcription uses this reversed journal, cutup techniques and constant repetition collaged with John’s own voice as he tried to communicate. Constant repetition references the incomprehension and deterioration of language evident within the gradual decline of dementia patients. The audio piece attempts to share an interior space of intensity and tenderness within the isolated world of dementia and caregiving.

III. “¿Aún recuerdas mi voz?” by Marco Neri
“¿Aún recuerdas mi voz?” by Marco Neri is a computer-assisted composition based on a Cardenche song from Durango, Mexico—a melancholic tradition named after a cactus whose spines hurt most when being removed. The piece reflects on vanishing cultures, evoking ancestral voices that echo through memory and digital transformation.

IV. The Loud Mechanical Hum that Seems to Be Getting More and More Frequent by Haley Sheppard
This work follows the Reddit threads of downtown Kitchener residents, perplexed by the mechanical and mythical hums of the city. By listening, one can contend with the hums as sonic traces of capitalism, settler colonialism, and ecological destruction. What might it mean to interrupt or counter these mostly unnoticed, yet ongoing signals of occupation, with the hum of a singular human body?

V. Liquid Polyphonies by Landforms (Gillis Van Der Wee and Lotte Nijste)
Liquid Polyphonies by Landforms (Gillis Van Der Wee and Lotte Nijste) is a sound composition that invites the listener on an acoustic journey throughout the polyphonic soundscape of the North Sea. By weaving together anthropophonic, biophonic, and technophonic sounds, and by searching for sonic analogies between the human and non-human through a combination of voice recordings, foley recordings, and field recordings, Lotte and Gillis create an electro-acoustic composition that emphasizes the interconnectedness between human and non-human entities at sea. Creating this piece, Lotte and Gillis reflected on interspecies listening, and their own position in the field as recordists: what can sound tell us about our relationship to the sea? And what role are we taking on as field recordists? Liquid Polyphonies was created during the residency program of Phonurgia Nova and GMEM Marseille.
