Soundscapes Compositions in Thessaloniki
Wear your headphones, download the app “My City, My Sounds,” and experience Thessaloniki the way eight European composers do, through the lens of contemporary music.
This is the soundscape of Thessaloniki, a city mapped through eight points of inspiration for eight composers from across Europe. The White Tower, the Navarinou Square, the Arch of Galerius (Kamara), the Church of the Acheiropoietos, the church of Hagia Sophia, the Roman Forum, the Aristotelous Square, and the Thessaloniki Port become milestones in a walkabout that resembles an open-air concert, “performed” for your ears only! "Soundscapes Compositions" is an artistic act that aspires to bring – local and international – audiences in touch with contemporary music, by creating new connotations in a city that continues generating stories, sounds, and walks.
Eight composers from around Europe were chosen to create short compositions, which were recorded by dissonART, an ensemble that is based in Thessaloniki and works on spreading music innovation on a global and local level. Find out more about the concert here and follow the -accessible from now on- sound walk through the “My City, My Sounds” app.
All over the city and free and available anytime, the application “My City, My Sounds” gives everyone the opportunity to listen to a city, in the “here-and-now” of contemporary music creation. The application “My City, My Sounds” was developed in collaboration with ZKM | Center for Art and Media and is available on App Store.
This program is part of the European program “Interfaces" and co-funded by Creative Europe Program of the European Union.
