field recording
In relation to my practice as a field recordist, there are a few results:
2024/ – the critical ear
- The “critical ear” is a concept crossing ideas of “technical listening” and “ear cleaning”:
- An essay is now published in VORTEX Music Journal;
- A short composition version was presented at Gallery AVU (Prague), as part of Michal Cáb’s exhibition Music Is Obsolete (curated by Miloš Vojtěchovský);
- It was first presented as a workshop (Synth Library Prague, July 2024);
- The concept crosses three literary sources: Critical Listening Skills for Audio Professionals (Everest, 2007), Ear Cleaning: Notes for an Experimental Music Course (Schafer, 1967) and Deep Listening (Oliveros, 2005).
2023/ – deep recording & noise pollution (SHLUK)
- “Deep Recording” is a concept shedding light on ideas of sonic health and noise pollution:
- “Noise pollution and sound beyond sound” (in collaboration with SHLUK)
- as a podcast on Ponava Radio (Jan 2025);
- published at Sonic Studies (Oct, 2024);
- presented at Noise Floor in Lisbon (May, 2024);
- SHLUK performed at ARCHA+ (Prague):
- presented at Beyond Listening: Agency, Art and the Environment (Nov, 2023);
- SHLUK premiered at Barrandov Bazen (Prague):
- In a residency at INTERFERÊNCIAS 2023 (Companhia Olga Roriz, in Lisbon), Artur Pispalhas and I kept developing the idea of deep recording. Here is a playlist of our favourite sounds;
- “Deep Recording” was first presented at the “25th Audio Engineering Meeting” of the Audio Engineering Society (Oct, 2023).
- “Noise pollution and sound beyond sound” (in collaboration with SHLUK)
2020/23 – field recordings: a manifesto
- “Field Recordings: a manifesto” is a practice-based presentation on a political view on sonic data, particularly through the practice of field recordings:
- Presented at SOA LISBOA, 2023;
- Published at Prace Kulturoznawcze, 2022;
- First presented at The Second Life of Recorded Sounds, October 2020.
2016/20 – digital non realities
- This research aims to study and develop a context for a sound practice that is not tied to a sense of “reality” but creates its own context for a non-real experience, an experience of fiction. In collaboration with Jiří Rouš, Matěj Šenkyřík, Petr Zábrodský and Alexandra Cihanska Machová:
- Reflections on sound associations and sonic digital environments, published by Resonance (2022);
- Reflections on sonic digital unreality, published in Digital Creativity (2019);
- Digital Unrealities, Study I, published in the Research Catalogue (2018) and in ARTEACTA (Czech Version).
