Ground Acoustics. Intermediate Affects.
Iván Rivelli

What are the possible narratives from an intermediate listening? What are the exchange relations between what happens above and below the city?

This project is about the process of exploring the sounds of the ground of Buenos Aires from practices of collection and recording. I propose to listen to the soils without the will of interpretation, but rather as a way of particular attention and experimentation of possible meanings. The soil as an interface, as a membrane that regulates and tensions the acoustic relations and the exchange of flows. It is a point of passage and reciprocity.

The materials and records collected in the process of this inquiry are arranged in the space following an organization based on intuitions and affectations. There, coexist elements of expertise and classifications mediated by relations of proximity with materials, sounds, references and specific places in the city.
