Sonoplastiko: An Audio Visual Consultation by Nandele

Concept: Sonoplastiko is a sound performance, an audiovisual show of experimental electronic music, and "ambient music". However, the main focus is on sound and how it can be manipulated in a synthetic, or digital, and analog perspective, taking into account the acoustics of the space.

The performance is compiled with field recordings of urban Maputo the capital Mozambique, plus field recordings from certain parts of Europe, airports, Ikea and others such as dialogues recorded in cassettes from Mozambican journalists and novel writers.
