Sound Matter
Collectively transforming city sound environments into sonic virtualities
"Sound Matter" is a series of collective projects conceived and directed by sound artist Francisco López. In each project a small group of experienced sound artists / composers is teamed up to work collectively in and on the city where they live / work. The artists explore the city sound environments, gather field recordings, generate a series of shared pools of sonic materials -both original and transformed- and then create several original pieces that are presented live in an immersive multi-channel set-up, in which a new sonic virtual city is generated.
