Alejandro Montes de Oca and Otso Aavanranta: found objects in a bench

"found objects in a bench" combines sound material composed in duo by the artists-researchers Otso Aavanranta and Alejandro Montes de Oca. The original material emanates from the sound archive of both artists. Sound synthesis, field recordings, instrumental sounds, become the seed of a collage composed of memories and dreams. https://www.audiorama.se/events/2026/ljudbanken-alejandro-montes-de-oca-OPEN CALL: THE CURATED SELECTION FOR LJUDBÄNKEN76 submissions from 27 countries!
