To  resound is not just to project sound, but to listen, respond, and shape the  echo of our surroundings. This event invites you to take on both  roles—actively listening and responding—engaging with tools developed at the  island throughout the artistic research project “Resonant Cycles”. Through  play and creative speculation, we attempt to establish connections between  human and non-human entities on the island of Brienenoord and the city of  Rotterdam.

Sophia  Bardoutsou is a composer and researcher exploring composition as a social,  rather than an individual practice. Her work lies at the intersection of  acoustic sound, digital media and diverse disciplines. Through the use of  interactive media and techniques that incorporate indeterminacy, she often  empowers performers and the audience to shape the creative outcome. She  is a Professional Doctorate candidate at Codarts University of the Arts,  where her research project, The Resonance of Vocalising, explores  performative imaginings of future ecological ways of being through collective  vocal and listening practices.
