Storytelling and interactive activation of Sounds from Earth with H&D, dianaband & Hee-Ju Lim
Sounds from Earth is a series of intergenerational workshops about world-building, live-action role-play, and working with simple electronics. Through different iterations we invited participants to co-create a fictional narrative while building a network of small electronic objects that facilitate (re)connection to and communication with our surroundings. The sounding network explores communication beyond the use of words, allowing to approach “nature” not as something to dominate and extract from but as something we are part of and live with and we need to relearn to attune to. Join us early to explore the symbiotic forest companions that will have been made during the Amsterdam edition of this workshop and discover how the story unfolds!

Performance by dianaband
Dianaband (Dooho & Wonjung) is a interdisciplinary artist duo based in Seoul. In their sound performance, 'Cats and Paper Boxes', Dooho plays with feedback resonance. Through various objects placed between a contact microphone and mobile speakers, he creates hidden sounds, subtle coincidences, and unpredictable sound events. Wonjung rides on this tide of wave with the Drawing Synthesizer, an instrument where 'drawing' is 'making sound'. Exploring the infinite possibilities of drawing with paper and pencil, she manages the momentum of the spatial narrative all around the space.

Performance by vegetable wife
Vegetable Wife is from Seoul. She yearns for noise and noise-making beings that escape from ethics and morality. She tries to strip away the many ideas attached to the sounds, while simultaneously suturing the sounds with different origins. Her sound exists inside a tear-and-paste loop through synthesising, collaging, recording and mixing it. With visual artist Jae-hyung Park, the sound synthesised with the video to extend the scape.

Interactive sound installation The Wishing Well
The Wishing Well is a work by SasaHara, activated in collaboration with Alex Olloman
The Wishing Well is an interactive sound installation, activated through audience interaction, performances and workshops. It consists of both a space to inhabit, and at its centre a self-made instrument working as a randomized loop station. The musical activations of the piece were designed in collaboration with the British composer and singer-songwriter Alex Olloman. The work appears as a shrine for voices, a sacred place of vocal archive. At its centre is the sculpture of the Wishing Well, inside which audiences are invited to share their voice. Through programming the Well combines the wishes and voices shared by people who have passed by it at different times. The audience’s involvement creates a communal, evolving piece that fuses sounds and algorithmic thinking into an archive.
SasaHara Ghanem-Chaney (French-Algerian, 1993) is a multidisciplinary artist born in Paris and based in Amsterdam since 2017. With a background in public space art management, and cultural economics they worked in the cultural field as a public programmer, exhibition producer and fundraiser. Their artistic work explores mythmaking as a tool to archive the queer experience, and as a support for community engagement. Their practice combines elements of text, music, installation and performance.
