Soundwalk Collective with Patti Smith | The Perfect Vision (Album 3)
Between 2019 and 2021, Soundwalk Collective and Patti Smith collaborated on the creation of The Perfect Vision: a triptych of albums which took their inspiration from the writings of three emblematic French poets: Antonin Artaud, Arthur Rimbaud and René Daumal. Central to the work was the poets’ necessity to travel to different lands to acquire a new vision and perspective on themselves and their art. Recorded in the Sierra Tarahumara of Mexico (The Peyote Dance), the Abyssinian valley of Ethiopia (Mummer Love), and the Himalayan Summit of India (Peradam) respectively, each album retraces the poets’ footsteps, channelled through on-location recorded soundscapes, in search of hidden, earthy sounds that hold embedded existence, with Patti Smith revisiting the poets’ words that have been inspired by the landscapes. The result is a sound and visual montage that traverses the works of Rimbaud, Artaud and Daumal in their voyage to elsewhere.
Casimir Geelhoed | Ecologies Of Listening
Casimir Geelhoed is a composer and software developer who explores expressive relationships between software and sound. Recurring themes in Geelhoed's musical work are a focus on introspection, anxiety, overstimulation and fragility.
Ecologies of Listening was created exclusively during night time at Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest, trying to recall memories on both a conscious and subconscious level. Specifically for this work, Geelhoed wrote software that controls the behaviour of sound sources in space, mimicking the working of an ecosystem. This resulted in a collection of organic, flowing, spatial landscapes that function as a living whole rather than as separated sonic elements. Elements are continuously drifting in and out of focus, as being pulled and towed by an invisible, overarching system.
