Tracing the Chora is a soundwalk through the interstices of Al Quoz conceived of and created by sound artists Fari Bradley and Chris Weaver. 

The chora is a space through which to decipher the reality of our surroundings. The walk observes Al Quoz's vastly different terrains through the eyes of those who have worked in the area for years. Narration and sound direct listeners on a one-hour journey that dissolves our experience of a boundary between the Avenue and its neighbourhood. The chora is a space of potentiality that promises more to come, and is traced here by the voices and sounds of a neighbourhood, markers of life amidst industry.

The commission is an Al Serkal programming commission.  

Recorded in Al Quoz, Dubai, UAE with the participation of Yasser Elsheshtawy, Nadine Knotzer, Kourosh Noori, Sunny Rahbar, Ehsan Eshrof and Dariush Zandi

Sound sculpture: industrial barrels, amps, electronics

A stack of metal container drums are activated by sound. The physical properties of each drum, temporarily provide a means of solo performance. Eventually, the collective forces physically changes the tones of the solo drum, pulling it into a certain harmony.

Feedback Work #1 (4 October 2017)

Hi 
I would like to submit you the first track of the IV° Volume of Time Machine project.
“The Time Machine project was conceived in order to find a simple
and immediate way to work with rhythm. I built two cheap and
imprecise, almost-square wave oscillators with a wide range of
frequencies. These oscillators can sweep and cross-modulate from
rare pulse to high audio signals. I use a mixer to create feedback
between the filters, CV and audio signals and simply record the
output; there are no overdubs.”

Renato Rinaldi studied drama, composition and electronic music.
After a number of years working as an actor he began composing
music for theatre, radio dramas and video installations. He has
produced several radio plays, documentaries and reportages for
the Italian national broadcasting radio (RAI). In music, his work
focuses primarily on the relationship between sound and environ-
ment. Composer Giuseppe Ielasi and photographer Armin Linke
are his frequent collaborators.
