Call for entries Deadline: 15 February 2008 (reception) ZEPPELIN 2008 DEAFNESSES
Once again, Orquestra del Caos, announces its new edition of Zeppelin, Sound Art Festival, calling for sound works about the multiple deafnesses of the contemporary world. There are many kinds of deafness. This years Zeppelin Sound Art Festival will focus on those that are barely noticeable, slowly and steadily undermining our hearing. We like to listen to noise and work with it, but we are aware that some noises often inoculate in us a sort of mental deafness. We would like to listen with our whole bodies, and to do so, we invite you to reflect on and make sound pieces that pay attention to the excess of talk, images, and sounds that constantly floods our ears disguised as information; to that never ending and repetitive clatter that political slogans wish to imprint in our minds and behaviors; to those strange sounds produced by the concentration of power; to the way we are continiuously made to think of ourselves as clients and consumers instead of citizens we want to pay attention to the noise that deprives us of our own sounds. We want to ask what can we ultimately really listen to? What are the mechanisms behind this great mental and social deafness we are suffering? We want to raise this questions through your works, regarding them as listening tools that counteract the kinds of deafness that inhabit our times. This is an open invitation for all those persons interested in these matters to submit their sound works. The pieces will be presented in an eight-speaker system on March 13th, 14th and 15th 2008 in Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona.
