Listening to the (Future) Landscape: full video.
Created at the International Conference for Live Coding (ICLC) 2023 in Utrecht, NL, Listening to the (Future) Landscape is a quadraphonic, live-coded sound performance, incorporating found natural objects, local environmental recordings and voice in an immersive listening space evocative of our ecological future. The artist has collected objects and recordings from the local landscape—the city of Utrecht—which become the primary instruments in the piece. With these artifacts, the artist builds a multi-layered, virtual space that exists in parallel with—and in tension with—the physical environment.
All objects, recordings and text were collected during ICLC 2023 and performed at historic Nicolaïkerk using the live coding software Sonic Pi and the app Touch OSC. Sound sources include the Stadskraan dock, a community garden gate, birds and bikes along the Oosterspoorbaan, and water from the Oudegracht canal.
