Dread Bass – AUDINT’s alternate timelines reverberate with fear and death

Author @gregCategory Environment Members Sound Theory People Posted on:

AUDINT is a European artist collective working across animation, installation, and publishing. While spaces and films designed by them have been featured at prominent venues including Tate Britain, Unsound Festival, and during MUTEK Montreal, their work is esoteric in both how it is presented and the ideas it propagates. In early 2017 CAN began a dialogue with the AUDINT team (Toby Heys, Steve Goodman, Souzanna Zamfe, Eleni Ikoniadou, and Patrick Defasten) and a funny thing happened, rather than discuss their practice in the usual ‘soundbite friendly making-of vernacular’ we usually get from artists, they replied from the fictional space their practice inhabits. This post is built around excerpts pulled from our exchange with the collective about the dystopian future-present and the nether zones that can be conjured through sound and vibration.

Sinuous Flow, Gelatinous Form – Paul Prudence’s Mylar Topology
