ZEPPELIN 2008
DEAFNESSES

Once again, Orquestra del Caos, announces its new edition of Zeppelin,
Sound Art Festival, calling for sound works about the multiple
“deafnesses” of the contemporary world.


There are many kinds of deafness. This year’s Zeppelin Sound Art Festival
will focus on those that are barely noticeable, slowly and steadily
undermining our hearing. We like to listen to noise and work with it, but
we are aware that some noises often inoculate in us a sort of “mental
deafness.” We would like to listen with our whole bodies, and to do so, we
invite you to reflect on and make sound pieces that pay attention to the
excess of talk, images, and sounds that constantly floods our ears
disguised as “information”; to that never ending and repetitive clatter
that political slogans wish to imprint in our minds and behaviors; to
those strange sounds produced by the concentration of power; to the way we
are continiuously made to think of ourselves as “clients” and “consumers”
instead of citizens
 we want to pay attention to the noise that deprives
us of our own sounds. We want to ask what can we ultimately really listen
to? What are the mechanisms behind this great mental and social deafness
we are suffering? We want to raise this questions through your works,
regarding them as listening tools that counteract the kinds of deafness
that inhabit our times.

This is an open invitation for all those persons interested in these
matters to submit their sound works.

The pieces will be presented in an eight-speaker system on March 13th,
14th and 15th 2008 in Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona.
