~ Liquid Polyphonies is a sound composition that invites the listener on an acoustic journey throughout the polyphonic soundscape of the North Sea.

 

By utilizing sounds recorded during a field research in the European parts of the North Sea (2022), Lotte and Gillis create an electro-acoustic composition where marine life, technology, industry and science are seemingly entangled.

​

Creating this piece, Lotte and Gillis reflected on the epistemological possibilities of sound, and their own position in the field as recordists: 'what can sounds tell us about the socio-economic and ecological contexts of damaged landscapes? And what role are we taking on as field recordists? 

​

Liquid Polyphonies is part of the residency program of Phonurgia Nova (FR). Lotte and Gillis are currently working on a preview for the sound festival 'Everybody Hertz' (2024), curated by Jeroen Vandesande. In september 2024 they will finalize Liquid Polyphonies at the GMEM studios in Marseille (FR).
