GK_GRIOTS_BHSNH_2013_GUERRILA GIRLS_1This update version of Portraits of Noiserz 2020 collects the original soundtracks and videos produced for R22 programme together with soundtracks for other projects by Gabriella Ciancimino in collaboration with musicians between 2009-2014.
Portrait of Noiserz is project that contains some episodes wherein associated documetation of experimental music, interviews and video.
The episodes to make the portraits of the musicians that present themself (probably in their studios or on the street…depens from people to pleople) while they work…for example some of them create their sperimental instruments by hands..and so on.
Portraits of Noiserz comes from the collaboration of Gabriella Ciancimino (visual arts) with Giuseppe Giambertone (videomaker) and Giovanni Tripi (Producer of Electronic Music). The three artists – usually engaged in individual productions – have wanted to face together emphasizing the collaborative nature of the project, which is therefore an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge and to create a contamination between different languages.
Sounds recorded in shared spaces around the World, by artists, researchers, curators for R22 Art Radio.
La R22 art radio continue à élargir le cercle des dialogues avec les artistes et le public, en présentant le guide audio des expositions de L’appartement 22 et en diffusant les œuvres sonores et documents et les mettant en accès libre a tous. Karim Rafi décrit le projet ainsi : L’idée est de convertir un lieu en instrument de mesure sismique, pour en étudier les phénomènes constitués de différentes formes d’ondes qui le traversent.
En installant divers capteurs, micros et autres instruments de mesure acoustique et sismique, en modifiant et en modulant ces formes d’ondes, le dispositif qui semble vivant (ronflant) produit de nouveaux sons et des ondes, métamorphosant ainsi l’état physique (acoustique) du lieu.
Cette interaction entre le dispositif et le milieu qu’il modifie produit une forme de dialogue ondulatoire à différentes amplitudes ; transformant l’espace en question en un espace sonore interactif aléatoire, invitant le public à méditer ses gestes, mouvements, actions et à penser le monde comme la somme d’interconnexions complexes sans frontières, un tout, une biosphère rhizomatique ondulatoire.
A temporary recording studio at Contour Biennale 8’s Opening Weekend Public Programme / DAI Roaming Assembly #12, Café Univers draws on conversations, music and live internet/FM radio feeds from across the globe to dialogue freely around sound, place and histories of struggle. The episodes navigate mainstream radio stations via the Radio Garden website as well as music chosen by presenters. The project melds sonic exploration of south/south solidarity and the collapsing of physical/digital spaces vis a vis the chaotic dynamics of listening to the radio while rotating the globe.
Café Univers is a project conducted by Syma Tariq and Francesca Savoldi and supported by R22 RadioAppartement22

Episodes 4 & 5: Karrabing Film Collective are from the Belyuen community on the Cox Peninsula across Darwin Harbour, Australia. They took up filmmaking after being made homeless, and use media as a means to express protection for their ancestors, sacred sites and mother country. The films represent their lives, create bonds with their land, and intervene in global images of indigeneity. Gavin Bianamu, Rex Edmunds and Elizabeth A. Povinelli speak to us about filming, family, Australian radio music and screwing copyright.

Episodes 6 & 7: Denise Ferreira da Silva offered at Contour Biennale 8’s Public Programme notes on a theory of transformative justice, assessing contemporary (total, institutional, symbolic) violence and raciality while interrogating a value-based proposal for practical decolonisation (ie, construing and then demanding the wealth back). She speaks to Café Univers about Brazilian radio novelas, cultural value extraction and hip hop, among other personal subjects.

Episode 8: Pedro Neves Marques is (together with Mariana Silva) behind inhabitants – an online channel for exploratory video and reporting. He comments on one of the works presented at Contour Biennale 8, ‘Hobby Lobby vs. The Allegory of Justice’, which revolves around an interesting case from 2014 in the US, where corporations claimed for the first time their religious rights to suppress providing health care and contraceptives to employees. Travelling together though Radio Garden we try to find evidence of the Trump era on US airwaves.

Episode 9: A chat with Mariana Silva, co-founder of inhabitants with Pedro Neves Marque. She is a Portuguese artist based in New York. As well as navigating Radio Garden with us through night radio broadcasts and transmissions from the Azorean archipelago, she connects some of the works produced for Contour Biennale 8 with her reflections on the US Women’s March on Washington, which took place on March 8 2017.

Episode 10: Pedro Gómez-Egaña drops by to tell us about the piece he produced for Contour Biennale 8 and related research that explores the complex tradition of riddles in polyphonic manuscripts of the Flemish region, and the enigmatic silence they contain. Continuing with the task of listening, we tune into the airwaves of his homeland, Bucaramanga (Colombia). Pedro is an artist whose recent works gravitate around questions of temporality in the intersection between technology and culture.

Episode 11: A recording of the last eight minutes of Rana Hamadeh‘s soundplay, « Can You Make a Pet of Him Like a Bird or Put Him on a Leash For Your Girls? » (40″). Structured through the oratorical tradition of the Shiite ceremony of Ashoura, it takes its political, military and legal expressions with the Lebanese/Syrian contexts as its field for commentary and research. Centred around the murder of Hussain, the Prophet’s grandson, it is a terrible and beautiful mixture of vocal trauma and dark trance. Headphones advised.
A project in collaboration with A-I-T and L’apparteemnt 22
La R22 radio expérimente, provoque et dialogue autour des sons, des voix sur le monde, c’est ce que vous entendez sur cette page dédiée à l’archive orale.
Badr Hammami & Fadma Kaddouri Thabrate (Correspondance) 2011
Le projet Thabrate, littéralement « lettre » est un projet artistique qui s’inspire de l’oralité des populations du Rif, une pratique qui se trouve limitée par la distance et l’analphabétisme. Dans les années 1960-70, les dialogues se sont prolongés par les outils techniques de reproductibilité du son. Les familles éclatées entre l’Europe et le Maghreb ont trouvé dans la technologie de la K7 magnétique le moyen de maintenir les échanges parlés. Les artistes, Badr Hammami et Fadma Kaddouri, ont mis en pratique des conversations qui réactivent cette histoire immatérielle par des archives et une discussion par cassettes interposées, entre 2010 et 2011.
