Navegando hacia un sur sonoro: Two Sound Stories From South America

https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/823463/823464

Brian Mackern’s Temporal de Santa Rosa, a sound recording and installation project that reinterprets popular, religious, and traditional elements in a post-digital key; and Alejandra Pérez Nez’s installation Antarctica 1961-1996, which investigates the imperceptibility of national political processes that have appropriated Antarctic territory in recent decades. The examination of these two case studies provides a critical approach to concepts such as new geographies, borders, and the materiality of sound, as well as prospective approaches to a sonic dimension of the South (Steingo and Sykes 2019). It recommends a journey through unconventional listening trajectories over a variety of acoustic pathways to a geographically dispersed South, which calls into question the significance of a linear tale through listening spots that allow hidden parts to be heard.

Jasleen Kaur – Alter Altar

https://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/news/glaswegian-artist-jasleen-kaur-has-first-major-scottish-exhibition

Kaur investigates music’s ability to reflect on current identities while also building new ones. Her research looks at the influence of the 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent under British colonial control on shared Sikh-Muslim cultural history, notably the ensuing deterioration of Sikh-Rababi musical tradition. These ideas are reflected by the use of colonial instruments like the Indian Harmonium, creating a larger narrative thread across the exhibition that investigates the ongoing geopolitical and cultural repercussions of colonial history and State power.

My own experience is contradictory and diverse. My father is Taiwanese, but I have lived in Shanghai most of the time. For me, Taiwan is like a paradise, a small island surrounded by the sea, where people live in a slow-paced and leisurely way. However, Shanghai is totally different from Taiwan. Shanghai is a fast-paced modern city. It seems that no one cares about how you are, because everyone is in a hurry to catch up with their own pace. Not only that, I also lived in Beijing for a while, Beijing is a city with many political elements, you can feel all kinds of red elements in the local area, but for me personally, Beijing is not what I love a place of residence. All in all, there are some natural elements in most of the works I listen to, the works I do, or the works I tend to love, some of which make people feel happy physically and mentally after listening to them.

The film with Portuguese and English subtitles that towards globalisation with the film. Also that the was created by indigenous peoples with filmmaking equipment and training. This video can be seen as the cultural preservation though a crucial element, which an elderly woman was afraid of dying and wanted to pass on the traditional festival songs. As the result, this video seems like a cultural preservation to spread time cultures.

When I saw this installation by the artist Luigi Russolo, I just feel shock and admiration.
