Bitsy Knox will build a soundscape with live geophonic recording of Gropius Bau´s vibrations. The atrium will become a wandering mind. Vera Dvale will be weaving together a series of segments of sounds that reflect selected places and moods. She exercises a sonic dialogue that entangle in the ecologies of the intimate. Like an open-ended thread, her sound piece reflects an intuitive response to the interdependence between humans and plants. Ross Alexander will interpret a sound piece that he developed together with the artist KMRU. This collage is devoted to sounds of rest, recovery and recuperation and explores non-productivity as an act of active resistance.
The broadcast series Intimate Connections engages with music’s capacity to help us cope and develop in manifold ways.
