In 2025, Witch You Were here #3 welcomes the Cymatics project, a proposal by Aude Van Wyller.
In his essay on sound, « Ocean of sound », David Toop takes us on an exploration of environmental music, from Debussy’s impressionism, Eric Satie’s furniture music and the surge of ambient music in Amsterdam in the early 90s.
In this book, he foreshadows our erratic navigation from hyperlink to hyperlink, a few years later, in the digital age. This « oceanic » feeling of plunging into a saturation of links, places and information, demands to be re-localized, in order to focus attention, concentrate on listening, choose to let go and distract, in a hypnagogic state: Cymatics, named after the sound waves we visualize, will be a multi-channel listening structure and device to welcome the public and artists exploring the sound environment, playing with narration and sound perception, within the same envelope. An uninterrupted flow of concerts will develop, sometimes solos, sometimes collective improvisations, composing and decomposing according to the hours and the mood.
