Retreat, Disappearance

Proximity of ghosted towns and birds; imagined dissipation of entities lurking in and out of real life; the canceling signals— crossed and masked; anticipation of vaporized languages, words stuck inside mouths. There’s a joy in static memory, trundling through the inky tunnel and out into the light. Twelve short works in Earlid’s annual Liminal Sounds. LISTEN…

Fidelity—scratch, static, decay

Body and mind and soul, we fall victim to time, place and the wind blowing upon our faces. Four artists collect sounds out of the ether, build them out of nothingness, a fidelity to the thin air itself. Read More.

Undulating Fabric of Time

What is a ghost? Karen Werner’s disembodied sonic artistry has a wraith-like way of arriving, like a stealth radio signal. Summon up one of those Viennese apartment dwellers, opening her door, quickly closing it after shaking out a rug, a blast of dust floating down the stairwell in the morning light. Listen + Read.

—Garrett Tiedemann, The White Whale

Skin rubbed smooth

What lies beneath, skin next to other skins, the outer interior of objects, excised stories. Stylus on wax, like a tattoo. Chisel and brush, pigment. An imagined layering of hides and rind and peel. Fifteen short works answer these many hollers in Earlid’s fourth annual Liminal Sounds. LISTEN

Dance of dream-led masses

If we are dancing a dream of ignorance around our planet’s future, perhaps a sound can pry open some of the residual oblivion. Two transmission artists, Anna Friz and Victoria Estok, consider environmental ruin—as witness-listener and as a kind of poetic intruder. LISTEN.

Right-Ear Dominant

Lift the veil upon a kind of curiosity. Cock the right ear. Eight short works offer the sonic body itself: organs and skin, a single knotted torso; the body of proof and lies; the wordy body, disembodied like a radio voice; a murdered body; and romantic suicide fiction. Sound artists consider language and meaning. LISTEN.
