a kin-layered song, 2025
Sound sculptress Antye Greie-Ripatti (AGF; poemproduer) exhibits kincentric song-like composition(s)
After working with choreographer Sergiu Matis on Extinction Room (Hopeless), Earth Works and other stage compositions that deal with species loss and human impact on our environment, AGF crafts hybrid, highly altered, emotional compositions from the sonic material and other field recordings of her solo and collaborative practices such as #sonicwilderness or #soundasgrowing.
The “music” collapses time and reality and suggests a form of song or singing (#songastechnology) assembling planetary and interspecific recordings and soundscapes into a melody that could be an orientation of how to envision hybrid, quantum, kincentric co-existence.
As vocal techniques, songs and singing, vocalizing, and calling out, all help people to remember, preserve and orient themselves, to find each other when they are lost.
The installation is accompanied by a poem.
