During this residency, I would like to learn from the experiences accumulated by the people working in Q-02. Together with my friend and comrade Lionel Gafner, I work as a curator of experimental music ans sound practice at the Lokal-Int, a small art centre in the Swiss working-class city of Biel/Bienne. An officially bilingual city, like Brussels.
I would like to document ways of welcoming artists, researchers, the public and other visitors. The idea is to understand what processes we could apply in Biel/Bienne. And hopefully create an exchange by inviting people from Q-O2 in our venue.
In addition, I would also like to meet people within the Brussels electroacoustic scene. Since 2019, I have been conducting a research in which I study the national political and economic contexts during the emergence of electronic music in the 1950s to 1970s. And I would like to know more about the Belgian context. The title of this project is “state music”.
