BALAJI TEMPLE

This recording was made by Pratyay Raha and Katrinem

Katrinem spent her time in Bangalore exploring the sounds of a broom. She also worked with students and artists in Bangalore to explore a collective, auditory project. This particular recording was made in Malleswaram by Pratyay who tried to capture her improvisation with the broom with a binaural microphone. 

The examination of sound and space is an integral part of Katrinem's work. For over 12 years, she has been investigating through her artistic research, the walkability of cities and its associated spatial perception.

Two aspects of her current artistic research and process are as follows: observing a site and personally experiencing space while walking.

Katrinem is continually broadening, challenging and refining her individual approaches to the subject of sound and space through exchange and collaborations with artists and researchers.
