With the invitation to the PARA/SITE O. SINENSIS event, which was curated by Lhaga Koondhor, fromheretillnow responded with a selection of moving images and music videos that were focused on noise and the complex relationship between host and parasite.

The displayed videos combined different visual and acoustic aesthetics, providing insights into the multifaceted possibilities that had emerged between documentary fiction, experimental short films, and contemporary music videos. The program explored various types of disruptions and examined noises and their effects on our perception and existence while adapting symbiotically to the given environment.

Over the course of two days, works were shown by: Chuquimamani-Condori + Oshua Chuquimia Crampton, Dis Fig and Alice Z Jones, Evicshen, mm+tt, Mschyen, Loft Garten, Peter Tscherkassky, Ruhail Qaisar, Scotch Rolex & Lord Spikeheart, and Toshio Matsumoto.

echo-shelves

contribute

'Echo Shelves' was a special evening that featured soundscapes by Nina Emge and Heith, presented by fromheretillnow in collaboration with the artist Dominic Michel and Istituto Svizzero. 'Echo Shelves' gathered thoughts on the scenic quality of public inventories and used objects, sound, and places as carriers of stories that continually transformed and extended themselves. The event symbolized the gradual fading of the current exhibition, marking a transition into a 'dark mode' that marked the exhibition's conclusion.

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH LATENCY

editorial

A glimpse behind the scenes reveals an authentic parallel world that stands in strong contrast to the perfectly staged show. The scene as a whole appears unfinished, chaotic, and somehow improvised. Ultimately, everything is aimed at a specific moment that fades away after a certain time and only exists in our thoughts or in recordings in the form of sound, videos or images.

Hiroshi Yoshimura - Wave Notation

liner notes

This is the kind of music I want to make with the "Wave Notation" series. because music is not only meant to be something which exists atone, What I am attempting to do, in an overall sense, can be called `sound design'. This includes the adjustment and regulation of sounds which are proper to an environment, along with the production and composition of the music within this series. Possibly, for a given environment, just one sound would be sufficient.
