The Decentralised Cult of Quantum Listening

Not a cult of belief, but of attention. Not centralised in power, but decentralised in presence.

MANIFESTO

We listen because life is always speaking - not only in the sounds of this world, but in the whispers of what could have been, and what has yet to come.

Re:Sound.

Musicians artists, builders, synth wizards, sound explorers, sonic alchemists, experience designers came together to explore the future of resonance.
We repurposed old pianos, invented new instruments, sculpted synths and percussive tools, hacked sound systems - all to awaken the sonic soul of forgotten materials.
It all culminated in an immersive soundscape: a sonic playground, a resonance chamber, a live improvisation, poetry, performance, and play.
A celebration of sonic invention and quantum listening.

Ear of Dionysus: Listening as a Frontier Technology

An immersive sound lab and a sonic theater at ancient sites: artists explore quantum listening through Dionysian ritual.

We will investigate the boundaries between inner hearing and external sound and experiment with narrative through vocal textures, improvisation, and instrumental performance. Final performance will be a 3-act "sonic triptych" based on Dionysus.

We're recovering an ancient capacity of collective listening. In a world that has forgotten how to hold complexity together, this project demonstrates that deep, embodied listening is a civic skill, not just an artistic one.
