Ivo Tauriņš has been selected for the RIXC Immersive Art and Nature Residency Program 2025.
Ivo Tauriņš is an artist who has graduated from the New Media Art Master’s program of the University of Liepaja. He has studied sound art at the Bauhaus-University Weimar, Media Art and Design Master’s program, Electro-Acoustic Music and Experimental Radio Studies subprogram. Ivo did an internship in room acoustics in the German company Müller-BBM GmbH. He has currently exchanged his perennial hobby of conducting and collecting analogue records for a deep technology of digital recording, examining its processing both in theory and practice.
The planned sound composition will be created at the RIXC Fields residency. The work will be based on site-specific field recordings that will capture both the soundscapes of the natural environment and the acoustic imprints of human presence in this Kurzeme location.
The resulting sound material will be compositionally structured and post-processed using multichannel, binaural sound and other spatial post-processing techniques to create a spatially specific listening experience. The listener will be invited to perceive the environment through sound – as a sensuous and reflective landscape where documentality and creative interpretation merge.
The composition is intended as a stand-alone electroacoustic sound artwork, adaptable to a sound installation in a specific space, emphasising the acoustic identity of the space and the aesthetics of listening.
