Join us at SONOHR for a personal exploration that will invite you to articulate your own desires. Come and share your wants in a 1:1, intimate setting; from dreams as big as writing a bestselling novel to the simple longing for more touch.

During the Saturday programme, your explorations will be edited and woven together to create a tapestry of longing which we’ll screen later in the evening: a rare opportunity to listen back to and bear witness to your own wants.

Audiowalk – mit Ortsbezug und doch ortsungebunden? – Norbert Lang & Ruben Kurschat (eng)

This lecture and presentation was held on Sunday, 25 February 2024, at SONOHR.

An audio walk interweaves the real physical space and the acoustically produced space. The result is a third space (Cardiff/Miller), a completely new reality. But what if the physical space can always be chosen anew by the recipients? What possibilities open up when the audio walk is site-specific yet universally applicable?

In the workshop discussion, Norbert Lang and Ruben Kurschat explore these questions and share their work in the world of audio walks.

Er studierte Kulturwissenschaften und ästhetische Praxis mit den Schwerpunkten Musik und Medien an der Universität Hildesheim und arbeitete für die Redaktion Hörspiel und Medienkunst des Bayerischen Rundfunks.

Audio Archaeology – Mark Vernon (eng)

This lecture and presentation was held on Sunday, 26 February 2023, at SONOHR.

In his presentation Mark Vernon explores the world of audio archaeology, magnetic memory, lost voices and found sounds through the lens of his practice as a sound artist. At the core of his practice lies a fascination with the intimacy of the radio voice, environmental sound, obsolete media and the reappropriation of found recordings. A rich collection of domestic tape recordings; audio letters, dictated notes, answer-phone messages and other lost voices often find their way into his unorthodox soundworlds and these diverse elements are distilled into radiophonic compositions.

Mark Vernon is a Glasgow based artist. A keen advocate of radio as an art form, he co-runs and curates Glasgow’s art radio station, Radiophrenia. Since 2011 he has co-run Lights Out Listening Group – a bi-monthly listening event focused on creative uses of sound and radio that takes place in complete darkness. His solo music projects have been published through different labels.

Wild Radio – Tim Shaw & John Coburn (eng)

This lecture and presentation was held on Sunday, 26 February 2023, at SONOHR.

In this masterclass John Coburn and Tim Shaw present Wild Radio, a practice which encourages communities to consider familiar places (their homes, streets, cities, villages and woodlands) afresh. Using the richness of radio to bring disparate communities of people together. Drawing on their collaborations with rural communities in the North East of England they describe how they have supported people to listen to, record and broadcast their shared sonic environments. By using different listening technologies to capture the sounds of their communities (social, environmental, geological sounds) Wild Radio encourages people to rediscover their immediate sound-worlds.

John Coburn is the founder of Wild Museum, a collaboration of artists, researchers & educators based in the North East of England. Wild Museum produce creative programmes with communities and organisations across the UK, exploring changing human relationships with place, people and the natural world. John is the co-owner of Duke’s Hagg, an ancient and post-industrial woodland in Northumberland.

Tim Shaw is an artist working with sound, light and communication media. Presenting work through perfor- mances, installations and sound walks Tim is interested in how listening environments can be constructed or explored using a diverse range of techniques and technologies. Tim is a Lecturer in Digital Media at Newcastle University and the co-curator of the Walking Festival of Sound.

«Fremd Zuhause» – Ein Audiowalk für überall – Martin Bezzola, Karin Bucher, Christina Caprz & Jane Schinlder (d)

Dieses Künstler*innen-Gespräch fand am Sonntag 26. Februar am SONOHR 2023 statt.

Audiowalks werden meist spezifisch für einen Ort ent- wickelt, nur selten lassen sie sich ohne grösseren Aufwand für neue Settings adaptieren. Das Projekt Fremd Zuhause geht einen anderen Weg. Der Spazier- gang führt die Hörer:innen entlang von fünf Stationen, die es überall gibt: eine Sitzbank, ein Brunnen, ein Spielplatz, eine Kirche, ein Gemeindehaus. Die App zum Audiowalk generiert den Rundgang per Mausklick und lädt ein, im eigenen Quartier, in der eigenen Stadt neue Wege zu entdecken. Diese Masterclass in Kurzform gibt einen Einblick in den Entstehungsprozess des Audiowalks.

Martin Bezzola (Klanggestalter) ist Komponist und Sound Designer für Hörspiel, Theater und Film.

Karin Bucher ist freie Szenografin, Regisseurin und Kulturvermittlerin für Museen, Theater und Film.

Christina Caprez, ehemals Redaktorin bei SRF 2 Kultur, ist freie Journalistin, Soziologin und Autorin.

Jane Schindler (Stillhart Konzept) ist Grafikerin und spezialisiert auf Kulturprojekte.
