Live Concert @ RIXC Greenhouse

Our senses have always been “mediated” – the sound can’t be heard without the “medium” of water or air. With more recent enhancements of immersive and sensing technologies, our ’sensoriums‘ have intensified and become more mediated than ever before (Caroline A Jones, 2006). The ‚constructivist‘ potential of the sound has been used to a large extent in music or radio, whereas ‚experiential‘ capabilities such as sensual and immersive properties of the sound have been mainly explored by art practices that emerge outside of purely musical environments.

RIXC Garden’s Hearing Notes is The Live Concert program at the RIXC Greenhouse exploring the sound as a medium extending human hearing limits and augmenting our listening experiences. The artists and musicians of this program use field recordings of our changing acoustic environments, transforming the sounds of nature objects into subjective perceptions and time-related phenomena, and experiment with the sampling rates of frequencies beyond human hearing…

The Live GreenHouse Concert will feature sound art performances by Krista Dintere (LV). All Strings Detached (2020), and Reflections, Cycles and Transformations (2021) / Ivo Taurins (LV). Noise Technocracy (2020), and Cockroaches in My Head (2021) / Lauris Smits (LV) and other emering and well-known Latvian artists, composers and musicians from RIXC Riga (LV) and MPLab Liepaja (LV).
