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 (see below).

Modulation #23 by Bruno Barrenha
»Waiting for a Train« draws on found footage film techniques to combine and arrange sounds. Through bricolage, copying, and creative interference, the piece was created entirely from a variety of audiovisual material available on the Internet. It intertwines references of sound culture and presents a suspended space-time of a train platform.

Sword Swallowing (2020)
electroacoustic composition 8’

Emulating subtle and almost unhearable noises of an internal human body, a body made of sounds comes into existence. Since its formation, this body deforms itself until the total destruction.

S&RC LOOPHOLES is a mini-series of quick, sharp & feisty podcasting by students of Petra Klusmeyer’s »Research-Creation, Art Writing, and the Making of Podcasts« of HfK Bremen. Quick means fast turn-around of an idea drawn from the student’s art writing; not overthink but craft ‘loopholes’ through practice. Sharp means intelligent, unexpected; encounter surprises. Feisty means a 60-second sonic output specific to the student’s art practice & research, maybe quirky and with an edge.
