In her mysterious compositions, Vienna-based sound artist https://soundcloud.com/isabellaforciniti explores the Buchla modular synthesizer, moving in the field of tension between sound analysis and improvised music. Forciniti wants to explore the different states of sounds and their effect on our environment – and in doing so open up unknown territory.

This contribution was first aired on Thursday, March 4th through Austrian national radio station Ö1 in the program series for new and experimental music "Zeit-Ton".

Written, Produced and Mixed by Isabella Forciniti.

Lockdown Grooves is part of Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. In Cooperation with Ö1.

Lockdown Grooves: Isabella Forciniti

"I made this mix some days after finishing working at a toxic workspace - a dance production- as a musician. This mix made the healing process easier and more pleasant for me. I needed to dig into sounds, rhythms and textures that kept inspiring me in the last months. It’s fulfilling to be able to share these gems."

Isabella Forciniti has also gained experience with movies during her work with Kubelka’s „Arnulf Rainer“ film strips and scoring gender-critical silent movies from the early 20th century. Isabella Forciniti cooperated with Patrick Pulsinger, Burkhard Stangl, Katharina Klement, Antye Greie-Ripatti, Joni Void, Ryoko Akama as well as other artists.

Atheer Soot (أثير صوت) is a Helsinki-based visual artist and theatre-maker. Moe Mustafa was born in Kuwait to Palestinian parents, moved to Amman-Jordan after the Gulf War. Alongside art and theatre, he has been honing his skills in sound design and composing for the past several years. Atheer Soot, an Arabic phrase, means a sound that resonates in the void. The project focuses on creating an interconnection between memories and sound, where Moe goes back in time to explore the past, his childhood. And translate these memories into an atmospheric and drone sound. Moe sees the process of sculpting the sound as a therapy, where you open up to your devices and instruments and dive deep into the subconscious and let the mind and intuition wander around.

We want to establish new ways to think and act collectively via sonic means. Sound’s ability to touch the listener, to involve them via emotional and physical affection, turns the sonic into a partner in the fight for a more just world. Sonic Agency is led by urgency and the pressing need for articulation. It is an effort to enable and reinforce transformative processes in our societies, while critically questioning hegemonic systems. Sonic Agency opens up space for a caring community of equals. Sonic Agency is grounded in the sonic’s ability to introduce the feeling of connectivity, and the possibility of community – a community yet to come.

Listening is not neutral.
Listening shapes the reality we live in.
Listening is shaped by ethics and politics and leads back to it.
Listening is directly linked to memory and identity.
Listening is as important as speaking.
Listing is an active act.
