Workshop Description
The hands-on workshop In the Blink of an Ear delves into the multi-layered concept of listening and the constellation body-sound-space. Through various listening exercises and soundwalks, we will explore the intricate relationship between our body, the bodies of others and the surrounding space. This year’s workshop will focus on the theme of “Playing The City”. The city of Iasi will be our inspiration to develop ideas or scores and to collect materials for creation, such as acoustic phenomena, environmental sounds, or reflections on and about sound.

To expand the interaction between sound and space, we will introduce, alongside our physical presence, simple and readily accessible devices: piezo, coils, recorders or MP3 players, smartphones or small speakers. This will form the basis for the individual / collaborative artistic works created as part of this project, which will be presented in an open atelier day format at the tranzit.ro gallery in Iași.

Coordinators

Cyrill Lim is a Swiss artist, composer-performer, and sound artist based in Zug (CH). His examination of the aspects of perception and reflection of the used media leads mainly to performances and installation works that try to experimentally gauge the physical qualities of space and material to offer a tangible experience on a musical level. The projects he is involved in are located at the intersection between music and theater, art and research, media installation and social environment.
