The Oceanographies Broadcast
The Oceanographies Institute (Charlie Usher, Elpida Orfanidou and Marialena Marouda, complemented by Marcus Bergner) studies the relation between the human body and the vast body of the ocean. It is interested in singular human-ocean encounters and the knowledge that is inherent in those encounters. In a series of private meetings, the Ocean Conversations and Demonstrations, the Institute dives into different people’s experiences and memories of the ocean.

upcoming : festival
29 April – 2 May
Oscillation festival 2021 ::: Tuned Circuits
Oscillation ::: Tuned Circuits borrows its title from Daphne Oram, the early electronic composer and instrument inventor. In Oram’s work and writing we find parallels between electronic circuits and biological ones. More broadly, the festival looks at the practice and phenomena of tuning. Tuning is a fundament of music making. To think in terms of tuning is to think in terms of relations; of one thing coming into consonance or dissonance with another, of one thing colouring and affecting another. It is also to think in terms of time, since tuning requires a process of constant calibration: what is now in tune will not stay that way.

Oscillation ::: Tuned Circuits takes place over 4 days and will be broadcast as a continuous radio stream.
