"kurimanzutto presents Tarek Atoui's project Organ Within at its cabinet space in New York City. Operating as an open sound laboratory, and instrumentarium, Atoui will debut a new hybrid sculptural object that engages numerous technologies in order to re-envision the spatialization, perception and performativity of the traditional organ. The Organ Within is the result of his ongoing collaboration with instrument-makers Léo Maurel and Vincent Martial, and their research into historical church pipe organs, modular synthesizers, and the sonic experiences of deaf people."

"Contrary to popular belief, and the writings of Jacques Cousteau, life beneath the ocean surface is not a silent world but a dense and rich sonic environment where sound plays a fundamental role in life."

" Have you ever wondered what a single electron moving through the universe sounds like? With scientists Kyle Serniak and Luke Burkhart from the Yale Quantum Institute, sound artist and composer Spencer Topel presents the first-ever music created from the measurements of the dynamics inside superconducting quantum devices, the precursors to quantum computers."

I see them in the streets and in the subway, at dollar stores, hospital rooms, and parties. I see them silently dangling from electrical cables and tethered to branches of trees. Balloons are ghost-like entities floating through the cracks of places and memories. They are part of our rituals of loss, celebration and apology. Yet, they are also part of larger systems, weather sciences, warfare and surveillance technologies, colonialist forces and the casual UFO conspiracy theory. For a child, the ephemeral life of the balloon contrasts with the joy of its bright colors and squeaky sounds. Psychologists encourage the use of the balloon as an analogy for death, while astronomers use it as a representation for the cosmological inflation of the universe. In between metaphors of beginning and end, the balloon enables dialogues about air, breath, levity, and vibration.

"As in sacred music in the West, Tibetan music has complex systems of musical notation and a long history of written religious song.

A means to memorize sacred text, express devotion, ward off feral spirts, and invoke deities.""

"Infographics show the human-like musical structure of humpback whale songs, as they synchronize their music across hundreds of miles."

Amazing online tool that allows you to create vocal sounds my manipulating the shape of the interior parts of the mouth (tongue, palette, throat, etc) and also the lips.

""It is less about music being scientific and more about the universe being musical.""

"Considering human imagination the last piece of wilderness, do you think AI will ever be able to write a good song?"

"Leave it to a group of new parents to be inspired to study the effects of screaming on the human brain."

"Passarello's essays dissect the whys and hows of popular voices, making them hum with significance and emotion. There's Dean's scream, Brando's "Stella," and a yawp that has made cameos in movies from A Star is Born to Spaceballs. The voice is thought's incarnating instrument and Let Me Clear My Throat is the annotated soundtrack of us giving voice to ourselves."
