[english]

the sounds of two (so)ci(e)ties.

in the first part of our show rui chaves invites us to lisbon:

"I live in Lisbon. Between January and February, and within the Sonic Arts Laboratory cem HZ ( c.e.m-centro e movimento) in which i participated as a tutor, i was in different areas in this town, recording its different soundscapes. The work that is going to be transmitted consists in the editing and construction of a Sonic voyage, trough this different places." [R. C.]

afterwards kanal 103 opens a black box installed for a week at macedonia city square to record the sounds of skopje:

"The program goes back to the sound of the 'Blackbox' project. Positioned on the city square, the Blackbox recorded the sounds from its immediate vicinity. It was positioned on Nov 1st, 2007 and the recording represents the last 31 minutes before its switching off after a week.
Orange = happiness, enthusiasm, dignity, prosperity This is the colour that radiates optimism, stimulates activity, appetite, and encourages socialization. In the search of other symbolic meanings of the orange colour , I realised that the black box is in fact orange. Hence, this concept is directly taken from the aeronautical use of the device that commonly is known as a black box, which records the audio environment within the flight deck of an aircraft and it is only used for the purpose of investigating an airplane accident. Here the black box replica has the same purpose, only it is used in a different context. Positioned in jardinière in the city square Macedonia, it recorded the sounds from its immediate vicinity. Noise, rustle, sounds of footsteps, words, conversations, thoughts… Those are the sounds that should be read as signs when posing the questions and giving the answers regarding the 'fall' of a society and its lost values, as well as perceiving the human role in that process. This piece does not play on the presumption that this society has already fallen, but uses its means for observation of the society in order to detect its state."
