(in)somnia, a sudden daydream as if sleep overtakes us or no longer wants to catch us... Like an “anthropo(s)cene”, listening attentively to the changing soundscapes. A musical wake-up call: the unexpected silent cry of a cymbal to preserve the layered, biodiverse sounding ecology for future generations of all living species.

"Dawn Performance": A fresh new sounding day, a cow far away, a car, opening the gate: new grids, performing new dialogues, movements of men and nature, frogs, mechanical sounds, the sandwich tern, a helicopter, sonic sunshine and fresh island wind, silence and noise moving through time cycles, creation of sonic heritage.

sound traveling locations: Amsterdam, Texel, Orangewoud, Kunstmuseum Den Haag

All authentic unquantized (no)human sounds and soundscapes made, recorded, produced, without the use of AI.

Ricardo Huisman is an Amsterdam based soundsculpture / installation artist, soundscape composer, community sound artist and artistic researcher. Inspired by Acoustic Ecology, Music Concrete, J. Cage, Avant-garde, Contemporary (Classical) Music, Sound- and Sense studies.  His installations can be experienced as multi-sensorial tactile interfaces. The “touchsound” produced by his “tactile sonic sculptures” includes composed soundscapes that reveal multiple associative dimensions, bodily sensations that could give rise to new spaces for imagination and playfull knowledge. Huisman invites people to interact within his community sound art projects, to become co-creators of their own “multisensorial hearing perspectives” and response-able and responsible joint owners of the sound habitat.

aka  DJ SENSESCAPE 
ear by ear live mixing “sensescapes”, like sound journeys, imaginary  ambiances, creating new music by instant composing with use of own field recordings and midi instruments. Presenting them with or without "tactile sonic sculptures".
