Research and creation residency.
Ecologies of resonance explores the relationship between sound, space and movement. The project investigates various acoustic spatial configurations, treating sound matter as a sound architecture outside of time. The focus is on the bodily effects generated by each of these sound architectures, and on what happens when these structures are set in motion. Sound waves move through the air, creating compressions and decompressions that shape a perceptible and invisible space. The project treats sound movements as gestures within a compositional language, where space itself becomes an instrument.
The composition incorporates processed field recordings from environments such as Las Yungas, a freshwater reserve and a pristine indigenous forest in Argentina, as well as voices and sub-bass frequencies created with the Buchla 100 synthesizer. In these air-sound configurations, resonance becomes the main conversation between sounds, bodies and space.
Nina Corti
Sound artist
QOA (Nina Corti) is a Latin American sound artist, composer and performer whose work explores the complex links between the body, architecture-territory and sound. She holds a degree in Electronic Arts from the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero (UNTREF) in Argentina and a diploma in Extended Music from UNSAM. She is also a researcher at the National University of the Arts (UNA), where she studies body-sound interrelations within the framework of (Techno)Ecology, as part of the project "Body politics and feminist poetics in the visual arts expandidas del sur de Sudamérica".
Specializing in spatial audio, QOA creates immersive, multi-channel soundscapes and installations that invite physical engagement and promote bodily experiences of space and time. Her work incorporates field recordings of highly biodiverse ecosystems. Through her practice, she explores the complex interspecific interactions within these environments, engaging in an expanded listening that attunes to the movements and sounds emerging from these vibrant exchanges. Sound as a vital tool to foster care and coexistence between all existences. Her approach invites us to align ourselves with the dynamic rhythms of living systems.
