Sound Propositions 07: Lemures (Enrico Coniglio + Giovanni Lami)
A CLOSER LISTEN was honored to have published a translation of sound artist Enrico Coniglio’s noWHere manifesto. Coniglio described his manifesto to me as: Just a small initiative, trying to clarify / provoke the “world of live electronics.” Too many

Christina Vantzou ~ No. 2
