Project in residence
SMVel
SMVeI (Sistemas de Mantenimiento de Verdad e Impostura) follows on from a previous compositional study of popular, regional, national and war/post-war hymns in the Mediterranean context. In it, some constant characteristics were identified, for example, their relation to territory, their mechanisms for triggering emotional responses or their uses by opposing ideologies, institutions or sides.
During the residency, a series of sound pieces will be developed through the manipulation of field recordings, found texts and cuttings of ‘residual’ parts of traditional music archive material: ‘silences’ punctuated by vocatives, patterns, ambient sonorities, etc. which, interwoven through successive layers of rewriting and sound processing, leave: on the one hand, possible cracks in the social orders implicit in the process of archiving/institutionalisation/folkloreisation of cultural objects; and on the other hand, room for the emergent ways of making the future sound and verbally inhabit it.
