SoundFjord.Hlysnan: Audio Screening | Stuart Bowditch (Hybernation)/Damien Robinson

Event information

Hlysnan is SoundFjord’s monthly deep listening event. Bring your ears to the gallery to explore the world of sound is all its facets, guises and surprises! Experience new works from renowned and experienced artists as well as new blood. (Hear their works contextualised next to the sound art work and experimenta that informed their practice). An intense session of listening with the chance for questions and answers afterwards.

Tonight is an evening of curated sound by Stuart Bowditch (Hybernation) and Damien Robinson:

Much of their collaborative work explores the relationships and tensions between ‘old’ and ‘new’; contemporary sounds and archive recordings, discarded technology and recent gadgets, between what was valued and what is now overlooked. As hearing and deaf artists respectively, their focus around sound and location also involves examining how they interpret these things differently as individuals, which mirrors their differing backgrounds, life experiences and education. Both artists also aim to draw fresh connections from these tensions, using a range of technologies to allow access and exploration of all things. They are interested and attracted to the extraordinary in the everyday, amazing things that initially appear mundane, and believe the public can connect with this, given the opportunity.
