this time we'll start our journey to'n'through experimental acoustic spaces in wellington, new zealand, where we're invited to join a meeting of the local community of (sound-)performance artists:

"this documentary amplifies some of the voices from the diverse and cross-pollinating experimental music culture associated with the central Wellington artist-run performance space 'the Frederick Street Sound and Light Exploration Society' (affectionately known to its community as 'Freds'), while asking wider questions around the history and practice of experimental music in Wellington, the particularity oflocalised micro-scenes, the role of key figures driving the culture, and, implicitly, how underground artistic communities can build strategies for their ongoing survival." [S.A.M.]

in the second part, together with students of the art In the public space (AEsP) workshop, we'll explore acoustic spaces in brussels. again local experimental – yet in completely different ways, conceptually as well as aesthetically:

"[…] There is no pre-defined model. A minimum of common sounds is devised, acting purely as inductive filters. The notion of repetition is abolished here through the renewal, or constant transformation, of sound and visual motions. To enhance this dynamism, the project can interact with other artistic disciplines through different interventions based on new parameters. In parallel with the above, 0°1533 takes a social and political stance while maintaining its commitment towards the notion of 'useful' art." [G.T./G.R./J.L.M.]
