AURAL MAPS
ARTISTIC RESEARCH
RADIO

In 2020 Aural Maps relayed Comme A La Radio, my show that focused on durational music, going for a mainly live non-linear narrative exploration of Aurality throughout sounds, stories and interviews. Aurality is a concept describing the techniques, modalities, embodiments and effects of information 'carried on' or 'engraved in' sound waves and vibrations.
Presented more or less regularly as a quaterly 2-3 hours live show, also with live performances.

AuralMaps#3 in which we make kin with sonic monsters from Mali and Java, deep dive in modern cathartic rituals, surface in the occitan sky towards spiritual ecstasy with the Coltranes, and, back to Mali via the Amazon, pay tribute to Yehia le marabout
