  How does one spontaneously move to a source of sound coming from a fountain that is no longer gushing? What memories and what signs does this condition detect and recall? Can a fountain that was once a magnet of social interaction change the dynamics of the space when the medium of attraction changes? Through the Pure Data programming environment an autonomous algorithmic instrument (patch) was created which is simultaneously open to external sound interactions. At its core is a noise oscillator that is passed through a band-pass filter to simulate water droplets. The installation is based on two wireless speakers and two wireless microphones in the basement of the source.  More:  ichorous

'Voice Actor’s record  Sent From My Telephone  is probably one of the most unique releases of 2022. It’s a 3,5 hour sound collage created by the Dutch duo of Noa Kurzweil and Levi Lanser. It’s simply impossible to listen to without being immediately drawn into a parallell universe where the detached dialogue of Kurzweil provide fragments of stories, lives and moments. ' https://youtu.be/a_mirVVm-pU https://stroomtv.bandcamp.com/album/sent-from-my-telephone
