Listen "The Listening Tide with Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec"
Episode Synopsis
Artist and musician Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec brought with him a kind of archaeological approach to sound for this Listening Tide, with recordings of early homo sapiens and the noises of their work. This led to an enveloped conversation on where meaning exists in sound. Is it simply within the speculative setting and context of sound? What does this say about what the actual ‘source’ of sound is? Or can sound actually be an illustration of a specific meaning? In all his thinking and practice, Tao is deeply invested in considering the manifestation of the body in relationship to auditive, and the spatial circumstances that define its measures and tones. For this he shares with us his own experiments and recordings, which additionally offer an insight into how he uses his equipment as instruments to reveal the notion of surroundings, and our place in them as an audience.‘Benskrapare / Bonescraper’Casja S.
