Institute of Contemporary Arts’ The Experiment podcast

Ihis podcast is always interesting and now features some new acousmatic compositions.

Kevin will be in conversation with acousmatic composer Adam Asnan who amongst other things explores Pierre Schaeffer‘s theories and incorporates these ideas in his own contemporary works. The term acousmatic comes from the Greek akousmatikoi, the name of the esoteric disciples who listened to lectures that Pythagoras gave out loud from behind a veil.

To unveil something of the acoustmatic sound in part 1 of the Art of Listening, we will be listening to a selection of new compositions and artists from London based label entr’acte – artists like Lee Gamble whose work floats and stretches the contours of sound, getting underneath and inbetween, like an ‘inner space’ probe.
