Recurring lockdown conditions worldwide make many activities difficult or impossible, thus silencing the foreground. This allows us to redirect our attention to the emerging "backgrounds", in effect, "Turning Up the Quiet”, toward phenomena that were there all along, but were not deemed important enough to register consciously. We will:
- Find, record, document newly emerging silences/still atmospheres (soundscapes)
- Think, discuss, consider: How to create quiet atmospheres ?
- Experiment: record, analyse, recreate, synthesize and stage them
- Move into "empty" environments and gracefully explore their acoustic niches with
Sono-aviatics - (the art of letting sounds fly in the air) and Dracosonics (the art of flying sound kites),
e.g. at Tempelhofer Feld and newly closed Tegel airport
