I’ve got a few download codes going spare for a sound art exhibition I’m very slightly taking part in. Francisco Lopez has curated a very wide selection of experimental sound-makers, of which I’m pleased to be one. I believe the exhibition in Madrid comprises an app loaded with all this audio, with no visual component.
Given that I’m in the UK and 2020 was 2020, I’ve not been able to attend, but the museum did provide artists with downloads of the material.
I have a few codes left that expire soon, and I figured that the people of lines might be interested. It’s 707 sound works, and almost 8GB in size, so would suit those who have a big appetite for strange sounds! Lots of noise, electroacoustics, lowercase, and other lines-adjacent music. Some ‘big’ names, many names new to me. The catalogue on the website has the full tracklist.
Link expires on the 11th January (Spanish time), so grab it now if you want it. Click the link, enter one of the codes. Post in this thread with the code you’ve used. Enjoy!
Oh really? Fantastic! What was the experience of the exhibition like? Am I right in thinking it was via an app on headphones, with the gallery space otherwise empty?
Yes. The exhibition was divided into 8 different big spaces, each with a different color scheme and dim light. At the entrance we picked a portable player and headphones, so on each room you could hear a brief introduction and then 3 different selected pieces. There was also a final room, with almost no light at all where the sound came from speakers instead of the headphones. In all the rooms there were cushions or a kind of mattress with a very interesting design to be able to lie down and listen to the sounds and music in a relaxed way. The entire tour was prepared so that the programmed version (in which you listened to 3 selected audio tracks) lasted an hour and a half. The experience was very interesting.
