| Biography | Hardi Kurda is a sound artist, composer, improviser, researcher, curator, and founder of SPACE21 Festival for experimental music and sound art, and the Archive Khanah, an interactive sound archive platform in Slemani. He explores radio noises that may have been considered illegal, abandoned, unheard, invisible, broken, distorted, untold, forgotten, or simply noises from nowhere, without a place or destination. Hardi developed his works for radio during the Radio Art Residency in Halle during the pandemic. In his PhD dissertation, Hardi developed the concept of the «Found Score,» a listening medium using everyday materials to reimagine listening experiences through engaging other senses based on his listening experience in a crisis when he immigrated to Europe. Hardi was granted the first artist residency of Beyond 1932 project from Royal College in London (2024). His works include «Your Resonance» (2023), «Lost in Baghdad 0109» (2023), «String Pulses» (2023), «Illegal Frequency Porto 1012» (2022), «Everything is Illegal» (2021), «Listening's Urgency» and «Interactive Radio Antenna» (2020), and his released solo album «Radiola Springs» (2022). |
