The Centro de Creación Contemporánea de Andalucía (C3A), under the Department of Culture and Sports of the Junta de Andalucía, presents the performance of Belgian filmmaker and sound artist Guy-Marc Hinant as part of the sound program ‘Remixing the Beyond. The Sub Rosa Anthologies’. For this occasion, Hinant combines different sources and devices to create an immersive auditory experience, which is part of the first season of the ‘Exploratorio’ program, ‘Meditations on the Foreign’, curated by Bruno Dozza and Miguel Álvarez-Fernández, with the aim of bringing innovative proposals in the field of sound and performative creation to the public. The event will take place on Saturday, March 8 at 8:00 p.m. in the Black Box of the C3A, with free admission until full capacity is reached.
The ‘Exploratorio’, the live arts cycle of the C3A, hosts the work of creator Guy-Marc Hinant, a three-part sound piece that will be articulated from multiple sound sources, including the use of three turntables. Hinant will reproduce and remix fragments from the various anthologies published by the Sub Rosa label and extract sound elements from some of the hidden records in his vast collection. These sound materials will also include sounds based on drones, Spanish electronic music, spectral voices, hypnotic rhythmic patterns, among others.
The musical event ‘Remixing the Beyond. The Sub Rosa Anthologies’ is part of the ‘Meditations on the Foreign’ cycle, which gives its name to the first season of the C3A’s ‘Exploratorio’, curated by Dozza and Álvarez-Fernández. The ‘Exploratorio’ proposes a space for research and presentation of innovative forms of artistic expression that encompass sound and scenic art, with the aim of ‘transcending borders from the privileged perspective of Southern Europe,’ in the words of its curators. The program has the collaboration of the Rafael Orozco Superior Conservatory of Music in Córdoba.
