Elements Tour 2008

Elements Tour 2008Elements is a series of performances in the domains of audio, incorporating practices of deep listening, field recording techniques, phonography and microphonics; with a particular ear to the elementary sound sources of our sensory world.

In the 2008 version of this performance tour, two sound practitioners from different landscapes, but with a common fascination for discreet environmental sounds, join together to form an onstage presence exploring different types of performance spaces in four different European cities.

The focus of these performances is basically to share listening experience with diverse tools and methods, but fundamentally with the ear. Sounds will be organized on multi-channel atmosphere, within an ambience of empathetic listening to the minute and fragile sound objects from our very own environment.
