En este episodio 1 de la serie 5 del Podcast comusik, presentamos a la artista e investigadora sonora de El Cairo Yara Mekawei quien comparte en esta oportunidad un registro sonoro de los mercados a cielo abierto de su ciudad y su proceso creativo de montaje de obras a partir de su archivo de grabaciones, con la característica de estar basados en las investigaciones y reflexiones sonoras que ha estado realizando en los últimos años.
Scoops
Friday open market, Attaba, El Gesh Street, Port Said Street, Haret El Yahood, Al Azhar and Soor el-Azbakeya. Major open-air public markets in the heart of Cairo. Where silence is not found. However, there is no silence.
Sounds have always been variable, even though they are similar to common ears. They contain an infinite number of frequencies that you do not hear. But your body receives it with open pores. The details drown you in their dots until you feel perplexed and helpless. It’s hard to realize it all. It’s what overwhelms you.
Being in the same place makes you get used to everything. The streets, the people, the buildings, the movements, the directions, even the sound. It’s like a daily videotape on repeat. In fact, there are variables. internal and external. That each sound is different at each moment. The one who doesn’t listen is not aware of it.
Content of the podcast:
I. Introduction of the podcast participants: Yara Mekawei, Richard Mújica, Lluvia Bustos and Bertha Elena Artero Ponce.
II. Listening to the audio Scoops
III. Questions and answers about the audition
IV. Investigations and sound methodologies: walks, political postures, sonorous conscience
V. Conclusions
