2021 «Get Going!» Portrait Series
The composer Antoine Chessex is developing a new direction in his musical practice, at the point where sound art and acoustic ecology meet – one that requires a transversal approach. As part of this exploration, he is drawing on practices and concepts from sound art and sound studies, audiographing non-human soundscapes and composing these into pieces of sonic fiction using instrumental processing. He is also exploring how sound, as a trigger auditory imagination, can enable an ecology of listening and is thus investigating coexisting human and non-human voices in their complex and fluid entanglement.
