“Sonotecture Memos” - Soundwalk
Theme - ‘Urban Scores’, drawing from Elena Biserna’s writing on sound in urban space.
Intersection between sound, architecture and urbanism. Experiencing the city through the lens of DIY, grassroots & cultural practices. Commissioned by Dublin Digital Radio for Alternating Current Festival.
Tadhg Kinsella’s “Sonotecture Memos” is a city-responsive sound walk/installation, tracing the entangled resonances of sound, architecture, and daily life in Dublin City. The installation will guide listeners from FLUX to The Complex, with the city streets acting as an exhibition space itself.
“Sonotecture (Sonic architecture) Memos” relating to the digital notes kept by Kinsella walking around the city while working on this installation. A sonic response to the “lust or dust” relationship the city’s architecture holds and how artists adapt to deal with this.
Through digital and acoustic technologies Kinsella creates a collage of field recordings, archival fragments, and electronic gestures. Sonically exploring how informal DIY creativity and activity shapes the artistic identity of the city. Inviting listeners to hear Dublin not as a static backdrop, but as an evolving living community in a resonant structure; scored daily by bodies, voices, and collective actions.
