Mara Mărăcinescu presents a specific practice of sound recording – field recording – and invites participants to explore the space of sound, to describe and present it towards listening. A workshop about active listening and working with sound in a (mostly) artistic context.

Reinventing the radio feature, without the antenna! Placed somewhere between field recording and sound art, this kind of radio creativity seems lost without trace on commercial stations or packaged as theatre/fiction in state studios. For a listening that promotes the field from sound art to research in immaterial heritage, SEMI SILENT comes with answers to questions such as: What is a creative sound documentary? What does sound add or otherwise change in the story of a place and its inhabitants? How to replace the narrator’s voice with the sound of the studied territory?
