Sonic Arts 06

'Sound art' has emerged as a media that challenges the defined categories of sound /art /visual art /music /science /engineering. Creative experiments with sound play on the fringes of our often-unconscious aural experience in spaces. The four-week intensive KHOJ International Sound Residency between Nov 10 to 30, 06 was aimed at exploring the nexus between technology, sound-scapes and creativity.

PEERS is a 4-week residency programme for recent graduates from art colleges across India initiated with support from the India Foundation for the Arts (IFA), which provides an opportunity for exchange and dialogue. The PEERS Program hopes to create a regular forum for experimentation, development, and critique within an alternative educational framework. PEERS 2006 brought together a diverse group of students from across the country onto a common platform that worked to provide an opportunity for open knowledge sharing within the group and the community.

Hybrid Sonicscapes

In an attempt to explore how the creative use of sound complicates the neat categories of sound /art /visual art /music /science /engineering’, KHOJ organised a one week intensive sound workshop between Jan 16- 22, 06. At a time when the mainstream engagement is moving increasingly towards the visual, the pilot workshop explored the nexus between technology, soundscapes and creativity. KHOJ played host to sonic practioners from diverse backgrounds and provided a discursive space where diverse practices, engagements with technology and approaches to ‘new media’ could be sensed, exchanged and engaged. This workshop was a seminal attempt by Khoj Studios to foster sonic arts within spaces and contexts generally reserved for visual arts. LISTEN TO THE OPEN STUDIO _ HYBRID SONICSCAPES >>>>

Locating creative sound.....

The roots of sound art can be traced to the early decades of the last century, when new sounds and mechanical devices radically expanded possibilities in the visual arts and music. This radical expansion seems to have been facilitated by certain key technological advances at the turn of the 20th century which provided both the fundamental tools of sound art (such as the radio and phonograph) and the modern concept of noise, which arose in tandem with the machine age.

Futurist Luigi Russolo is perhaps the first artist and theorist of creative sound. With the publication his manifesto L’arte dei Rumori (The Art of Noises) in 1913,sound art begun to have a impact on the creative art practices.." http://cotati.sjsu.edu/spoetry/folder6/ng632.html .In a quest to capture “symphonies of ever day life”, Russolo invented intonarumori (noise instruments) which could produce many synthesized timbres over a range of pitches.

In contemporary artistic practices sonic art has emerged as a 'new media' which challenges the defined categories of sound /art /visual art /music /science /engineering.
