Sound is an essential element, present in our biological processes, in the environment, and in everyday life. It cuts through existence as an invisible and inevitable substance. If music can be thought of as liquid architecture, and architecture as frozen music, then perhaps our universe is, almost literally, an expanding symphony.
Taking a transdisciplinary and experimental approach, this program brings together artists from different backgrounds and sound-based practices, creating unique atmospheres through music composition software, artificial intelligence generators, analog noise, and other methods that emerge in this latent age of remix. At a historical moment marked by a shortage of people willing to listen attentively, we seek to revive the experience of sound appreciation as a collective and necessary gesture.
The program moves across the universes of sound art, noise, experimental music, and remix, with special attention to the .mp3 format — taken here both as a formal constraint and an aesthetic provocation. The simplicity and ubiquity of the digital file remind us that music — in any medium — is a body in vibration, traversing matter and memory.
Throughout the program, we will sit together to listen to each work, establishing a time for attentive listening, followed by intimate conversations with guest artists, who will share their creative processes. As a final gesture, everything will transform into a collective remix led by viniiiiiiiicius, condensing the shared experiences into a new layer of sound.
More than opposing noise and melody, our aim is to expand listening toward abstraction. The presence of machines and their interfaces widens the pathways of creation, revealing possibilities that traverse both the materiality of sound and its political and affective dimensions.
This gathering is not a conventional exhibition, but an opportunity to experience sound as a shared immaterial architecture.
