Pantea and Momo Zeli (IR) – Vedad Famourzadeh (IR)
This mixtape represents the progress of Everyday, an artistic research project led by pantea and momo zeli. The project aims to foreground the unheard sounds of everyday cultures; sounds which are less acknowledged and explored in the creative musical heritage, sounds which embody local knowledge, cultural practices of the vernacular, and ecologies - many of which were not made for musical purposes in the first place. Through the project recordings are being highlighted that denote a blurred line between everyday sounds and musicality.

Audio Game Center
DDD (Disability Driven Design) Project (JP)
Audio games are created from sound and played with sound, unlike video games where visual information is essential. The project explores the possibilities of experiences created by sound using various media and venues, such as holding game centers in real places, hosting “Prototyping Party”, a hackathon to develop new games with various creators, carrying out online distribution and podcasts.
PostSensorium. Hearing Notes
Krista Dintere (LV), Ivo Taurins (LV), Lauris Smits (LV), RIXC (LV), LiepU MPLab (LV)
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.

Vibrations Matter: Art & Science of Deep Listening
Victoria Vesna, James Gimzewski, Carlo Ventura, Charles Taylor, and members of the Art Sci Now collective members -- Ivana Dama, Clinton Van Arnam, John Brumley, and Paul Geluso
This event addresses vibrations from the point of view of visual and sound artists considering the scientific research into matter, brain waves, human and animal voice, environmental noise and outer space. Our starting point is quantum mechanics -- based on music theory and that nanotechnology is showing us the waves that underlie all matter which many Eastern philosophies have known for centuries.

The Sound of Clouds and other Sonic Memories
Joel Ong
Since 2015, Joel Ong has been collecting sonic memories through interviews and casual conversations. As part of his Residency with UCLA this summer, Ong turned his attention to sonic memories in the environment, and is collecting these in order to draw attention to fluctuations in the climate observed and remembered through the inter-subjectivities of a diverse group of interviewees.
