Tape & Fields by Manja Ristić

Two-track treat called Tape & Fields —— seemingly unrelated... While I was still under the impression of Portugal's sonic palimpsest, I composed this tape for the Ring Ring festival (which took place last weekend in Belgrade).

The Tape —— a 45-minute-long mix of a few recent releases, as well as snippets of new ones that will be released this year. This tape served as a framework for an improvisational set, including objects, Atlantic shells, an electromagnetic microphone, a hydrophone submerged in different chemical compounds, a wheelchair wheel, a violin, and an open upright piano.

The Fields —— a 19-minute-long hydrophone recording of the barge on the Tagus River outside of Lisbon, capturing the calming and mysterious sound of waves underwater near the river's estuary with the Atlantic.

Born in Belgrade 1979. Violinist, sound artist, curator and researcher mostly active in the field of electro-acoustics, instrumental improvisation & experimental sound related arts. Graduated at the Belgrade Music Academy, then gained PGDip at the Royal College of Music, London.
