We started in 2016 with sound pieces using field recordings in podcasts for a Bucharest sound ecology: the exploration/recording/transformation/transmission of urban intimate memories. Older pieces here, do just that! Newer sound submissions though, make us want to leave the city and the documentary, get lost in illusion/fiction/drama, based just as well in field recording: forms that stimulate stories that transmit that listening state. Of course, it’s just radio, our only medium to theorize and practice listening for space & story, remotely!

Melting Candles
Intimist take on the sonic space of Antim's monastery yard in Bucharest.
Amid Bucharest's appartment buildings, in the beginning of October, the Antim monastery.
Among birds nesting in the bellfry - the sounds of cars and ordinary conversations.
Candles that are melting, snuffed by a fast naughty boy.
Old wood, budged by an elderly carpenter.
“How dreadful to be a mother... or father."
Sașa-Liviu Stoianovici includes in his artistic practice diverse mediums - modified electronic devices, wood, cheese, polenta, traditional musical instruments, sound and video. His installations search for the interference points between archaic peasant objects and new technologies.
