Miguel Aparicio

Residency Programm: August 2017

Miguel Aparicio conducts an investigation focused on sound. He takes field recordings and thereby discovers Blanca’s strong sound identity. Playing with these original sounds he makes compositions processing and interfering with sound data.
Miguel transforms these sounds by assembling, programming, and incorporating algorithms and random reproductions of parts. He also introduces material elements outside the sound system that burst into the sound circuit.
For the end of his residence he presents in Centro Negra a surround sound installation and a series of interventions in commercial spaces of the town, installing small sound systems and reproducing compositions of natural sounds of the surroundings as sound track of the shops. These interventions aim to generate an estrangement through the relocation of the sound landscape and urges us to think about active listening and sound consumption.
