Projects

Project 1   /   Making Conversation

Conversations are an active art form where speakers and listeners, through direct participation, provide a sense of rhythm, create conflict or contrast, and harmonise through balancing acts – each of these performances lead to unique narrative compositions. Great conversations are made in sympathetic environments that allow the development and expression of individual identities embedded in particular locales within a fixed time frame. 

Through the ‘Making Conversation’ project, TILT proposes capturing something of both people and places involved through sound. The process of structuring and re-presenting these conversations will require the expertise and skills of contemporary field recording artists who can listen to and capture the essence of both individual expressions and the environments within which they are created. 

Project 2: Finding Place

Although often eclipsed by visual information, sound plays a crucial role in locating ourselves in an environment. Sound is an evocative and powerful tool that we use, sometimes unconsciously, to help position ourselves within both known or unfamiliar territories. 

Soundscapes are often multi-layered, but the attentive listener can differentiate specific sounds and their separate sources, and once tuned in, can recognise patterns and anticipate resulting events. 

Through a series of field recordings, the ‘Finding Place’ project will explore acoustic landscapes both in and around Luxembourg to understand and share with a broader audience this intangible environment, which in many ways has shaped its cultural heritage.
