To keep himself off the streets and out of trouble, Justin Bennett has begun a podcast series called “The Constellation”, which is inspired by the rediscovery of a large sound archive from his past. Justin writes:

I’m not sure if it’s an audio book with sound-effects and weird music or a sitting audio-walk. I have to invent it again every week. Sometimes more wordy, sometimes hopefully more musical. I don’t know where it’s going to end. None of us do.

What it is, is Fiction. A story of a few friends who, during the Corona-crisis are in contact with each other again. It’s about how they react to the changes around them, but also about their shared past, art, music and politics.

I can’t promise to make a new episode each week, but I’m going to try. Every Friday. Best wishes from isolation, Justin

More information on the ARC Sessions in 2020.

Sound, Technology and Listening – Artistic Research at the Institute of Sonology.
This ARC session will display the research of four students of the master’s programme of the Institute of Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, while two students will act as respondents. Within the context of the research master’s at the Institute of Sonology, a wide range of perspectives is unfolded in the form of individual projects. Students look into, among other domains, the role of sound in music and our everyday environment, the development of novel tools for sound production, the study of the sensorial aspects of sound and their possible compositional implementations.

This ARC session has been convened by Gabriel Paiuk, Faculty Staff at the Institute of Sonology and PhD Candidate at ACPA.
