Sonoscopia: disposophonia and the democratization of noise
Disposophonia is a neologism coined to describe an accumulation and obsessive collection of sounding objects in their multiple formats - records, instruments, field recordings, objects and memories. Throughout this long and dense process, the Sonoscopia collective constructed a house, intended to be a meta musical instrument where the entire sound spectrum is a unifying entity able to connect communities.
