https://oscillation-festival.be/High time to break the ice, because a ray of sunshine bursts through the gray cloud cover over Brussels: Oscillation ::: The Weather is here. After last year's six-day edition, we are returning to a more compact format, with 4 days of concerts, (in-situ) performances, a conference, round table conversations, walks, a series of workshops, a field trip and an uninterrupted radio stream. All of this is hosted by Le Brass, BiS (Bodies in Space), atelier 210, La Cheminée and more places to be announced. The complete line-up and breakdown per day will go online soon, as will the ticket sales for seperate days. Festival passes are already available here.
This year, we will depart from practices around field recording – listening to one's environment through microphones, memory, or language. The festival will link field recording to the weather as phenomenon, as metaphor, and as concept, able to cause poetic and beautiful effects but also to manifest radically destructive events. In both field recording and the weather we are reminded that environments are in perpetual change.
Exploring weather as a general condition, informed by climate, temperature, humidity, pressure, and changes in atmosphere, the festival will present and discuss various practices of field recording and their use in art and science. Performances, walks, on-site workshops, and talks will provide the opportunity to experience different modes of listening to the environment, permeated by the various and varying phenomena that weather comprises.
