Fellowship Foundation Sacatar
After almost 30 years of working together (The first O+A project/piece was 1989) we had been watching out for a fellowship which pays us time for working on our materials, getting it in order for a catalogue and some exhibitions. And in order to deepen our artistic research in non urban spaces.
The Fellowship Sacatar in Brasil came up, we applied for it and so it happened that we are in Brazil from October 16 - November 27.

In 2004 with an upcoming new type of digital recorders. Meaning, recorders without moving parts - no tape, we could start to experiment with synced binaural recordings, mainly in urban environmets. The first piece which evolved out of this new way of experimenting was "my eyes my ears". It premiered at the "Ear to the Earth" Festival in New York in 2009.

During our time in Itaparica, we will work through our recording collection of 4 years, mainly done in cities all over the world like Mexico City, Seoul, Paris, Berlin, New York, etc. Having a total different environment around us - an almost dented island - and by getting to know it's surroundings, its fauna and flora, we will experiment with „nature interfaces", study non urban environments with 4 ears recordings and try to interact with the very musical culture in Salvador de Bahia.
