Session 1: Sonic Games

Tuning In, Sounding Out is a two part report for Radio Tenthaus exploring interrelationships between sound and ecology by the residents of PRAKSIS’s seventeenth residency, Climata – Capturing Change at a Time of Ecological Crisis – Siri Austeen (NO), Sarah Kazmi (PK), Margrethe Iren Pettersen (NO), Lasse-Marc Riek (DE), Elly Stormer Vadseth (NO), Gustavo Valdivia (PE), Geraldine Vanspauwen (BE) and Maria Wang Kvalheim (NO).

Session 1, Sonic Games, invites you to join the residents on a journey that connects Norway, Belgium, Germany and Peru via experiments in sound that explore the places and situations that the group found themselves constrained to under Covid-19 restrictions. These exchanges are divided into four thematic cycles under the titles: Home contexts; Inside/outside our window; Nightscapes; and Kitchenscapes.

Find Radio Tenthaus on local Oslo radio 105.8FM every Tuesday from 20:00-23:00 pm. This link is to a player where you can listen to the Radio Tenthaus episode online only when it is sending live.
