Notes Meeting: 10/26/2022. 08:00 AM
Present, Dr. Ann Marie Bartlett and Dr. Giulia Vismara.
Carlos Llerena Aguirre reported on work done in the previous month. Edited the video, color correction an sound of the documentary Qeswachaka. Also, a report on the work in progress “Estar y No Estar” of disappeared people’s portraits.
Giulia commented on the use of layering sounds in film scenes. And or adding sounds that help building the scene, such as street sounds, wind, keys. Or adding dissonance with foreign sounds to the scene. she suggested several books, articles to read, for example Bloomsbury, The political Possibility of Sound. Ann Marie also offered a list of books of ethnography, soundscape, and ecocinema. Ann Marie suggested to me to do intervention and experimentation with a methodological approach and research the impact on audiences.
Ann Marie concluding remarks were to concentrate on the background reading to inform my praxis. Giulia suggested using the Tehran's sound article as a "sound diary" experiment.
The main influence in the gathering of sound samples this month, was the work of Westerkamp's music. Miami, Lima, New York.
"Westerkamp creates new possibilities for listening. One can journey with her sound to inner landscapes and find unexplored openings in our sound souls. The experience of her music vibrates the potential for change.”
