174. Titre/Title/Título : Poetry Soundscapes - Snugness
Produit par/Produced by/Productor : Christiaan Muller
Pays/Country/País : Portugal
Type/Tipo : Poetry & Sound
Synopsis/Resume/Descripción : Poetry Soundscapes is a podcast that invites listeners to immerse themselves in a world of fieldrecordings, a little music and poetry. The podcast begins with a reflection by Charles Simic on the role of art in expressing the impossible predicament that we all find ourselves in as human beings. In the context of poetry, the predicament often refers to the limitations and challenges that the poet faces in trying to express their thoughts and emotions through language, as well as the existential struggles that are part of the human condition. The host shares a personal story of a childhood experience where he found himself in a cold, dark room counting the tolling of a church bell to pass the time. He argues that the cold and discomfort of the room actually added to the experience, as it allowed him to appreciate the warmth and comfort of his bed. The host reflects on the beauty of the world and the importance of taking the time to appreciate it. He suggests that, like the experience of being cold in a warm bed, we need contrasts in life in order to fully appreciate the moments of joy and beauty.

Produit par/Produced by/Productor : Suzie McCarthy
Pays/Country/País : Canada
Type/Tipo : Sound art/song/experiment
Synopsis/Resume/Descripción : Water voice is a medley of voice notes from my phone, recorded over a year or so. These recordings were never intended to be broadcast, but in layering them together they've transformed into a sort of siren call. Mostly made in my bathroom with my own voice, it's a 60 second window into private moments. Somehow, I feel there is some sort of feminist undertone to this piece. The only male voice is sleeping (snoring!) and I am exploring what my voice can do in harmony with extractor fans and running taps.

Synopsis/Resume/Descripción : Imagine a world above the hustle and bustle of everyday human life where sound travels through the air. In Bionosphère, I imagine that the sounds from radios come from a world above ours; that there is life in the ionosphere where radio waves travel. What would life in the ionosphere sound like and how would those lifeforms view humans? By using only samples from my handheld radio, I created a world outside of our own that allows space for human introspection while also inviting people to avoid the human trap of overthinking and to succumb to a world of daydreaming.
