Eve Aboulkheir crafts her Delphian landscapes through an alchemy of electroacoustic techniques, modular synthesis, and meticulously warped field recordings. These shimmering acousmatic terrains draw from the places she inhabits and reimagine them as surreal auditory realms, at once grounded and otherworldly. Her project »Venus Road« winds through the uncanny interplay between nature and urbanity, inspired by a nocturnal journey through the forested expanse of Singapore's MacRitchie Reservoir. In the liminal space between city and wilderness, the sounds of wildlife seem to sync with the rhythmic pulse of human machinery, creating a symbiosis that unsettles even as it mesmerises.

The alias of coder, artist, and Ph.D. researcher Yann Martins, Younger Sibling delves into the complexities of memory and trauma, presenting dissociation as a form of temporal rupture. Through sound, the project examines how the mind can fracture time, creating vivid and unrelenting encounters with the past. This dislocation, often isolating and disorienting, becomes the centerpiece of an exploration into how trauma reshapes perception. Framed as a speculative narrative, the work draws on the language of science fiction to give shape to an internal struggle. By transforming the experience of dissociation into a story of involuntary time travel, Younger Sibling offers a creative lens to process and reimagine trauma, bridging the gap between personal healing and imaginative storytelling and turning pain into a conduit for reflection.

The performances will take place using Soundscape — an object based audio platform by d&b audiotechnik which can open a new dimension in our listening experience.
