and Fulya Uçanok (TR) Hugo Vasco Reis’ „Cinco Lugares Sobre a Fragilidade" (Five Places About Fragility) take us to the heartland of Portugal to five villages that, through field recordings, slowly reveal to the listener their very specific sonic characteristics of their natural and man-made environment, their daily activities and seasonal weather conditions. Sounds, as the composer writes, often „do not assume a major importance in our hearing.“ And yet these very sounds are what make possible the recognition of a place, the feeling of identification and belonging to a place. Indeed, these soundscapes are fragile, doomed to disappear irrevocably with economic progress, gentrification, and climate change. In FIVE PLACES ABOUT FRAGILITY I-V (2022), composer Hugo Vasco Reis creates a symbiosis between the development of an ecosystem and his artistic practice. The project is dedicated to the soundscapes of the ensuing villages: FIVE PLACES ABOUT FRAGILITY I - Vila de Rei FIVE PLACES ABOUT FRAGILITY II - Oleiros FIVE PLACES ABOUT FRAGILITY III - Proença-a-Nova FIVE PLACES ABOUT FRAGILITY IV - Mação FIVE PLACES ABOUT FRAGILITY V - Sertã Istanbul based composer, performer and researcher Fulya Uçanok expresses in her work the attraction and curiosity to attend others and „otherness“, and - as she writes - „to investigate interfaces of connection within social sound engagements.“ These inquiries are explored through collaborations with musicians and with non-human bodies; "more-than-human agents and physical material agents," as Uçanok explains. An excellent example of such investigations is the project S-wallow-ING I + II, in which the artist looks for ways to "sounding together": the two chirping swallows and her listening and responding musically to them.
