Wandering – Eduardo Abrantes

A collaborative exploration on distance, audio correspondence and psycho-geographic mapping, together with artist and researcher Susana Mouzinho (PT). In Travessias e Encontros (Crossings & Encounters) – a sound piece commissioned by the interdisciplinary online platform ESC:ALA, the full curated piece being accessible here – Susana listens to a Copenhagen that Eduardo has cycled through, then Eduardo listens to Lisbon as it has been walked by Susana. A hybrid sound map results from this mutual curiosity, every now and then intersected by short voiced introspections. A dialogue with distance.

SOME BODY IN THE LANDSCAPE (AND THERE WERE OTHER BODIES) (Mooste/Tallinn, Estonia – Stockholm, Sweden, 2015)

Sound piece composed of voice and manipulated field recordings captured in Mooste and Tallinn, Estonia, during March 2015, and edited in Stockholm and Lisbon during May 2015. Some Body in the Landscape builds upon the impressions of the wandering mind and ear, and deals with pathos and improvisation both in dialogue and in the context of performative intervention in the immersive presence in the surrounding landscape. Commissioned by the interdisciplinary online platform ESC:ALA, (escalanarede.com), the full curated piece is accessible here
