Still buzzing after last weekend’s post-residency concert by Arthur Chambry & friends and ASUNA’s Second Sundays, this newsletter announces at eleventh hour a post-residency presentation on Friday by Lale Rodgarkia-Dara, at which she will present an essay in process, followed by a short concert. It also reminds you of our teaming-up with KRAAK this Sundayfor a night of concerts by the great Eve Aboulkheir and Andrew Pekler at our HQ. Additionally, it also tries to use this moment to slip the save-the-date for Oscillation Festival, our sonorous celebrations, into your agendas. To conclude, it highlights the oto-date sound walk by Akio Suzuki and presents a workshop on hardware hacking with Magno Caliman early December.
In this presentation, Lale will introduce an essay, which is currently in process. It is called Seda and deals with the role of the sonic spectrum and our ecological interaction, as well as on her functional illustrations that become sound installations. Following the reading, Lale will play a short concert. (read more)

oto-date Akio Suzuki
Oto-date is a project by the Japanese artist Akio Suzuki in which he invites the audience to stand still on specific spots in the urban space. These places are marked by a pictogram which shows a hybrid of human footprints and ears. The project seeks to get people listening to the sounds that surround them without the mediation of headphones. The Japanese term oto-date consists of the ideograms for “listen” and “point,” hence “listening point”, and is inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony “nodate”, which is held in open air. Since the audience is invited to listen to the sonic environment of the city, there are no soundtracks for this walk. [read more]
