Sabine Vogel

In this lecture Sabine Vogel is talking about her creative practice tuning in to create work as an improviser in and in relation to the natural environment. Further she will introduce her project Recorded Landscapes, which is a series of audio-visual compositions dealing with ideas of homeland, nature and identity. So far she visited the homelands of different musicians and they shared specific places in nature with her (so far: Marta Zapparoli (I), Biliana Voutchkova (BUL) and Bennett Hogg (UK) ). In these places they spend time together, shared memories and stories, improvised together. Vogel collected audio and video material from which she created these compositions.

In this project the individual biography of the invited musicians became the starting point of the compositions as it is directly geographically embedded. The result are very different audio-visual compositions, in which the role of the place is a crucial element. The place is another co-player and composer of each piece.
