The search for Mexico's drug war victims, distilled into sound art | PBS NewsHour - 0 views

  •  
    "What does it sound like to look for a lost loved one? This art installation doesn't look away from the horror and pain of that reality. At University Museum Contemporary Art in Mexico City last year, multiple speakers wrapped visitors in a sonic collage, recorded from a group of civilians, made up of mostly women, who search the desert for "clandestine graves" of missing loved ones."

    "IDEA: A large group exhibition in Berlin as a climax of a three-year residency and exchange project between Mexican and German sound art artists. WHAT:  'entre límites / zwischen grenzen - berlin' focuses on different aspects of the relationship between sounds and objects. The majority of the pieces at the exhibition were created over the course of several weeks during project residencies in Mexico and Berlin. The exhibition was already shown with great success earlier this year in Mexico City from late August to the end of October."

    "In 1999, composer/sound artist Steve Peters undertook a project at The Land, a venue for site-specific environmental art in the high desert of central New Mexico. Wishing to develop an intimate relationship with the site rather than impose his own noise upon it, he devoted himself to the act of listening to the sounds that were there during each hour of the day and night over the course of one year. Spanning the disciplines of acoustic ecology, environmental and performance art, poetry, sculpture, installation, and contemplative practice, Here*ings documents that experience of immersion in a particular landscape, examining the gradual process of becoming connected with Place. In sharing his findings, Peters encourages us to offer our own attention to the subtle poetry that surrounds us. His work reminds us that, beneath the surface of the commonplace, the extraordinary lies waiting to be revealed."

    "This episode features a conversation with Tucson-based sound artist, Glenn Weyant. I first learned of Glenn's work when I discovered The Anta Project, a series of recordings he made by playing the border walls, fences, and assorted ephemera along the U.S./Mexico border. Glenn also talks about building instruments and his explorations at the intersection of journalism and sound art."

What Is Cumbia Rebajada? The Stories Behind Mexico's Unique Take on Cumbia | Sounds an... - 1 views

  •  
    Great example of a technology (or tech failure) leading to new art forms: "The rebajada was created at a party when the Radson [a brand of amplifier] began to sound slow because the turntable's motor ground down. We were scared cause of what happened, but then after this accident people began to ask for the rebajado version [rebajado means lowered or cut down in some way, i.e. slowed down], so we recorded Volume One, Two, Three and one hundred more. Thank god we have the original cassettes. The first cassette was released in 1992 and we sold it at the Puente del Papa market by the Santa Catarina river. My wife began to sell three or four cassettes with a little table and sound system, and thank god we made a lot."

We embrace hybridized practices among different disciplines and living organisms, open knowledge and precarity as a challenge.Our current lines of research are based in the use of sound to understand the bioelectrical activity of different bacterial consortiums, plants, slime molds and humans using DIY and custom-made sets of hardware we call ontological machines.
