MODULATIONS ON THE FLY is a series of resonances in sound, art, and philosophy. In this season's episodes, students of Petra Klusmeyer's »Un*ound Writing« and »Advanced Sound Projects and Theories« of HfK Bremen explore the sonic in its material and conceptual dimension. The podcasts will show you how.
»We Are All Sitting in a Room«
by Alberto Harres
»We Are All Sitting in a Room« is Alberto’s generative sound composition created from his audio archive »The Pandemic Archive of Voices,« a projected work with 24 speakers that reproduces 185 verbal expressions from 18 languages. Each audio sample represents a word or expression in the speaker’s native language, speaking of the individual’s experience in the current context of the pandemic. It is an algorithmic mantra with no definitive beginning or end, a circular poem that seeks to evoke a sense of community among the diversity of perspectives in this time of collective struggle.
