This event is part of "Everyday Experimental," a series drawing inspiration from commonplace activities and inconsequential sounds of the everyday.
Moniek Darge, of the Belgian Logos Foundation, has been creating sonic art since the 1970s. Her soundscapes paint aural pictures of a variety of international locations. Recently, she has produced collective soundscape compositions with other female composers. One of Darge's most recent projects involves sounds sourced from Tamil Nadu in south India and evokes the aural worlds of nature, rituals, commercial music and traffic.
Françoise Vanhecke is a vocalist, pianist, actress and composer. Darge and Vanhecke will present East Crete, Mother Goddess, a work compiled entirely from field recordings in Crete. Originally composed as part of annual intermedia arts event Levka Ori, East Crete, Mother Goddess fuses land and sound art to evoke the atmosphere of the island and recall the ancient hope for a utopian society.
Graham Lambkin cut his teeth in the band The Shadow Ring, formed in England when he was 19. After his eventual move to the U.S. in 1999, 2003 saw the release of I’m Some Songs with The Shadow Ring. Over the last few years, Lambkin has primarily worked under his own name, releasing two solo records (Salmon Run and Softly Softly Copy Copy), and two hardcover books featuring his writing and drawings (Dumb Answer to Miracles and Dripping Junk). His own Kye label releases both his own work and that of artists like Moniek Darge and Vanessa Rossetto.
