The Belliphonic Mind
A sound research into the acoustic memory of armed conflicts. The Mannheim musician Flo Huth looked at interviews, news and documentary platforms to identify sound associations with military violence. To which sounds is the attribute “war” attached? Based on the term “Belliphon”, which combines the Latin word “Bellum” (war) with the Greek “Phon” (voice), the sound of conflicts – from actual battles to everyday noises to artistic expressions in pop and media culture – emerges as its own audible world. Together with the musicians/sound artists Kasia Kadlubowska, Zoé Pouri and Joss Turnbull, Flo Huth and Mikel R Nieto try to develop a dialogue from the collected materials and improvisational approaches that approaches the topic from the perspective of memory and the immediacy of experience.
