SOKUSHINBUTSU PROJECT is an Italian esoteric ambient / post industrial duo, born in 2020 by Massimo Mascheroni (ODRZ) and Enrico Ponzoni.
The term 即身仏 [Sokushinbutsu] (lit. "Buddha in his own body") refers to a particular Buddhist ritual, practiced starting from the XIIth century by some Japanese monks who, through a long and painful mental, physical and food praparation, culminating in death, predisposed their bodies to a process of self-mummification.

What can a field recording tell us about architecture? 


In 2013 the artist group, OSSO developed Echoes, a program for the city of Lisbon to explore the relationship between LISTENING and PLACE. They organised a broadcast event for the Lisbon Architecture Treinnale on stress.fm. 


I was invited to curate the broadcast program and put out an international call asking people to record their 'local'. The question I asked was: 'What can sound recording tell us about architecture?'


I have sat on this collection of recordings for about ten years and recently stumbled across the folder of audio on my hard drive... recorded before the pandemic, before the current economic and political instabilty. It struck me that listening to this archive is like a window onto another time. Many of the contributors have written saying the places they recorded are longer there or that they have changed in certain ways. What started as an enquirey into the sounds of place, has now become a collection of memories- or at least something different and changed by time.

Huge thanks to Nuno Torres for his support with this project.
