Sonoro
[Repeated from Wednesday 11am.] A series showcasing Mexican contemporary sound and radio artists, curated by Ana Martínez de Buen. This week: Crickets, Atoms, Voice, Ghosts, Lichen by Martha Riva Palacio Obón. "Sound is a fluid body filling us with our own shape. We are resonance chambers, part of a complex web of affections. In the song of a cricket all the nights of my childhood at my grandmother's house are cyphered, as are the echoes of every organism that has and will inhabit the Earth. This piece is an exercise in re-writing, in recomposition, where I establish new connections, conversations, between some of my sonic essays: from the voice of my maternal grandmother, to my body as a lichen, passing through my interpretation of the No. 8 watercolour in the Athoms series of Hilma af Klint.”
