My Garden without Me #4: Tree Bark Recipes

Proud to present www.treebarkrecipes.com , a collection of sound works showing befores and afters of insects inhabiting a single littleleaf linden (Tilia cordata). You can listen to sound works created by amazing artists from around the wounded planet.
It is a part of a bigger project I conceptualized and curate, My garden without me, dealing with listening to and imagining the world during anthropause. It is a constructed archive of faked field recordings, imaginary soundscapes and following photo, video, and text-based documentation.
Several amazing artists contributed to this collection and I am grateful and proud to know them (in no particular order): Maja Bosnić, Lottie Sadd, Francesca Le Lohé, Teodora Stepančić, Lynette Quek, Marija Šumarac, Damian Scholl, Manja Ristić, Johnny Chang & Hana Patterson-Chang, Andreja Andrić, Ljubomir Nikolić, bbob drake, I’m My Own Merry-go-round, Maximiliano Bober, Pradit Saengkrai.

This piece is a short research into the use of visual and geometrical elements in string orchestra music. Drawing inside the sound, sounding inside a space. Dot - line - plane. Symmetry, and one fountain in Budapest.

Ana Gnjatović · Auscultation: Tin Cry

Auscultation: Tin Cry

for accordion solo (2013)
dedicated to Vladimir Blagojević

Some metals such as tin, indium, gallium, zinc, and I think it is similar with people too, emit a certain silent crackling sound when they are folded – tin cry. The crackling sound is the result of the change in the crystal structure of the metal: under the influence of mechanical force a large number of atoms move at a high speed in the same direction starting a sound wave. It is possible to restore the original crystal structure of the metal by melting it.
