About Korkut Sonic Arts Triennale
Dedicated to sound and listening, the Triennale creates a space for a wide range of sonic practices without restricting them by institutional boundaries. Over the course of two months, Rites of Eternal Wind will host sound installations and live events, listening sessions and soundwalks, hybrid lectures, discussions and workshops, somatic performances and explorations of sonic rituals and environments where sound is absent or even impossible.
Three is a magic number, and the Triennale approaches the relationships between sound and wind through a triplicity of perspectives: observing wind as an acoustic phenomenon in search of something to resonate; documenting attempts to control the uncontrollable; and sensing its presence through absence — by listening closely to the faintest sounds, like breath and whisper. In this sense, Rites of Eternal Wind is also a love letter to sonic traditions that have existed for centuries outside the Western frameworks of music: Central and North Asian instrument-building and performance as forms of social organisation and political imagination; Indigenous sound and improvisation as communal music practices preserving collective memory and history; Southeast Asian traditions of attentive listening; and many others.
