interlude is an ever-changing formation of people gathering regularly to collectively un—learn and un—mute through listening and sounding practices. Inspired by Pauline Oliveros’ practice and philosophy, these experiences are invitations to explore emancipatory practices through the forces of sound and listening. Our project comes from a place of personal research, curiosity and genuine interest in the exploration of these practices. We are always seeking to approach them in a non-hierarchical way, learning from each other as well as all participants, creating support structures for others to feel held and heard.
If you have an idea for a listening session, share a track/text you’ve been working on, mix some music that is accumulating under your saved favourites, reach us with your propositions.

Last season interlude. That was, like, an entire sentence that we somehow built together with nouns and verbs and connective tissue. They were thinking how it was the connective tissue (yes the connective tissue) which it was all about. They were trying out shyly to offer ways of listening. But they could not say the day was over. The business, they thought, was not only unfinished but maybe not done enough. The ears still open. The people, yes all still here, byob, old friend. The thought of seeing each other again. The potentiality still glimmering around. And look, there might be even some new things awaiting you.
Join us for a 4-day sonic celebration in the Graphic Design bookshop at the end of the 1st floor hallway (RV building)

19.00
2023 graphic design alumnus Yoohee Cha will talk about and read from her collection of essays investigating the physical and metaphorical voice of womxn. Her publication The Tip Of The Tongue The Teeth The Lips is an ongoing project, an assembly of various stories on womxn and voice, orally transcended stories through womxn, or speaking as a tool for womxn to form solidarity.

The prompter calls the voice ➰ the voice calls the melody. Bibliomania’s (Alex Balgiu/designing writing + Olivier Lebrun) obsolete digital garden will be resurrected, a projected theatrical biblioprompter, unfolding and generating activation and amusement. With the change of web servers following the change of seasons, they lost the way to this garden as well as the magic formula to invoke it... They wanted to solve the resurrection equation, and they needed a magician: Paul Bouigue.
