Aural Cinemas presents two programs of soundworks by 12 contemporary artists, primarily based in Canada and Switzerland. Conceived as a companion piece to the Bild, Stimme II: Figuren des Audiovisuellen conference, Aural Cinemas features a constellation of audio pieces, each implicating different forms of voice/image interactions. Alternatively privileging orality, narrative, the medium of radio or telecommunications devices, electroacoustic composition, and soundscapes derived from field recordings, the works in Aural Cinemas offer a broad palette of contemporary sound practices that enrich our discussions of voice and image during Bild, Stimme II.
