Noite Imersiva convida Bruno Christofoletti Barrenha (2024)
Produced by Som de Black Maria and Kino-Olho
Rio Claro, SP – Brazil
Noite Imersiva (Immersive Night) is a project developed in partnership between the duo Som de Black Maria and the Cinematographic Research and Practice Group Kino-Olho, based in Rio Claro. Once a month, there are shows featuring sound art, experimental music, performances, and film screenings, with empashis on sound production for cinema. These gatherings of sound appreciation promote proposals for the improvement of listening exercises, formative experiences, and the dissemination of sound art in the inland of the state of São Paulo.
In the January 2024 edition of Noite Imersiva, Bruno Christofoletti Barrenha presents the composition Waiting for a Train (2021).
Inspired by Oswald de Andrade's Manifesto Antropófago (1928), the artist uses found footage techniques to combine and organize sounds within a soundscape. Through bricolage, copying and creative interference, the piece was created entirely from a variety of audiovisual materials found on the internet. It interweaves references from sound culture and presents a space-time suspended from a railway platform.
The work is one of the episodes of Modulations On The Fly, a series of resonances in sound, art, and philosophy, conducted by students of Petra Klusmeyer’s »Sound Studies | Research-Creation« classes at the University of the Arts in Bremen, Germany.
