SoCCoS is a residency and research network engaging with exploratory music, sound art and culture. It provides residency opportunities via exchange of artists, cultural workers and theorists. Through the residencies, SoCCoS offers time and space away from known environment and everyday routines, to discover new sites, different cultures of sound art and source materials, to develop special skills and expand artistic networks.

The project focuses on language, differences in urban and rural environment, and work with local communities. It practises a structuralist approach in relation to sound art residencies, connecting different sound art practices, geo-social contexts and art production typologies. It has a strong focus on research, elaborating on geography, culture, sound, language and site-specificity. It will engage a new generation of artists through micro-residencies.

The activities, residencies, artworks and related research will be documented on the website and finalized in a book publication. SoCCoS is shared by the organisations HaiArt (FI), Binaural/Nodar (PT), DISK Berlin (DE), A-I-R Laboratory (PL) and Q-O2 workspace (BE). Associated partners are Bambun (IT), Moks (EE), Kumaria (EL) and De School van Gaasbeek (BE).

With the support of the Creative Europe program of the European Union.
