moving classics : sonic flux (mc:sf)

Moving Classics: Sonic Flux (MCSF) is a new, ongoing (2020-2022) project that will creatively explore the condition of displacement through personal testimony, original music and AV/Film installations. It will connect musicians and AV/Film artists with displaced people to explore stories of flux that have shaped the modern European identity.

The Project will create 6 hybrid sonic & visual experiences enabling musicians and artists from all corners of Europe to work with diverse ethnographers, visual storytellers and communities along with the Project Partners and their creative teams.

Starting with stories of internal displacement within countries, each new work created, will zoom-out to regional and transcontinental stories highlighting displacement as a human condition rather than a national one.

The project aims to bring new voices into the creation of contemporary music and AV/Film (both experimental classical and electronica) by both representing the stories of displaced peoples and including them in the creative process. It aims to highlight the condition of displacement as one of circumstance not nationality, starting with stories of people displaced within their own countries then zooming out to focus on regional and trancontinental displacement.

The research period of each project seeks to work with displaced people to bring their stories to the fore, resourcing and supporting the gathering of undocumented histories and personal narratives. It will allow for efficient and effective knowledge transfer by resourcing active collaborations across music, moving image and new technology.
