Residency and performances with Audio Leakage Community at ISPOD BINE Sound Art Festival Nov 9 - 13, 2023 Split, Croatia

Yati is joining the Audio Leakage Community (Budhaditya Chattopadhyay / Bojana S. Knežević / Franziska Windisch / David Helbich / Yati Durant) for a research residency and performances at the ISPOD BINE Sound Art Festival from 9th - 13th November 2023 in Split, Croatia! The project we will be undertaking there is called Co-composing Split, and involves researching various interactions, improvisations and sonic/architectural practices and methods that intersect each other when creating sound and music together.

The interesting project is open to the public and will take place at various locations in Split. More information here.

This performance practice research will compliment and substantiate the writings that are going into an academic journal in 2024 of Contemporary Music Review, entitled Co-compositional Theory and Practice, edited by Yati Durant and Eleni-Ira Panourgia.
