[Grads] Raviv Ganchrow - Guest Lecture @ CCRMA

[Sean Iosaf O Dalaigh]

Dear all,

Tomorrow, Mon 13th,  from 1.30 – 2.50pm the artist and sound researcher, Raviv Ganchrow
will join us via Zoom at CCRMA to present in general on his research and specifically on his work, Agora Circuit. This will take place as part of Music 222, Sound and Space taught by Fernando López-Lezcano.

Raviv’s work as a sound artist and researcher intersects with many of the ongoing projects at CCRMA, including, but not limited to, conceptual approaches to sound and listening in/as space, microphone and speaker design and Archaeoacoustics. He holds degrees both in architecture and in the sonic arts. His talk will be centred on his work, Agora Circuit, and will “include both technical and situated locational concern as well as theoretical speculations about earlier manners of hearing space”.

The talk is in person on the stage at CCRMA. The work Raviv will be presenting contains infrasound, which require subs to be heard. We have limited spaces if you would like to join the class in person, and please drop me a quick email to r.s.v.p. if so. If you would like to tune in telematically, you can find us here;

Please bear in mind that you will not accurately hear the work examples if you are listening on computer speakers or on headphones with a standard frequency response. Apologies for the short notice of this announcement, Raviv is travelling this Quarter to Tierra del Feugo…

…and it was relatively challenging to overlap our schedules. More information on the talk below. Also attached are an image from the work and an optional prelude to the talk – a text centred on another of Raviv’s works in Tallinn, Estonia.

Field notes to Agora Circuit

Agora Circuit is a live in-situ circuit at ancient Messene (Greek Peloponnese), directly patched into the location’s expanse of stone, dirt and air. The circuit rewires human-mineral binds by interlinking column vibrations, irrigation channel infrasound, telluric currents from tropical thunderstorms and future earthquakes, standardized marketplace measure resonances and the politics of stoa reverb. This talk will discuss practical considerations of opening into the situated oscillations at Messene’s agora as a means of engaging with a multitude of spatial, temporal and contextual agencies on site.

Raviv Ganchrow researches interdependencies of sound, locale and hearing through installations, writing, and the development of transduction technologies. His sound works attend to spatial-material manifestations of situated oscillations in conditions such as environmental infrasound, telluric currents, long-range radio, ocean acoustics, and anechoic chambers. Recent installations relay contextual dynamics by way of in-situ circuits directly pated into locales. Raviv publishes, workshops, and lectures broadly on auditory contexts and sonic agency and is currently a faculty member at the Institute of Sonology, University of the Arts, The Hague.

All the best,
Seán
