Christina Hazboun is a Sonic Agent, surfing soundwaves in search of ear-gasms, exploring music and sound in space, time and society. Her multifarious adventuring through music and sound manifest through an intersectional web of activities aimed at amplifying the voices of the underheard from the SWANA and the global majority via poetic and research based texts, audio/sound collages, workshops, and curation with a focus on music industries, gender diversity and digital connectivity. Her main sphere of activity focuses on increasing the appearance and audibility of new sounds and music from West Asia, North Africa and the global south sharing hybrid, diverse and powerful voices with those who come with an open ear.

Juliette Volcler is an independent researcher, writer, sound artist and gardener. Her work focuses on the history of sound and radio art, the uses of sound by states and industries in public spaces, and the way those two fields intertwine. She considers and practices critical listening as a way to advance social justice. She published Extremely Loud: Sound as a weapon (The New Press, 2013) and Contrôle: Comment s’inventa l’art de la manipulation sonore (La Découverte / La rue musicale, 2017). In her latest book, L’orchestration du quotidien : design sonore et écoute au 21e siècle (La Découverte, 2022), she raises the political question of listening in the 21st century through an investigation into sound design and its current development as a tool for social engineering. This book invites readers to make a shift in the way they listen to everyday life, and to awaken a critical ear.

Kate Carr’s practice explores the encounters, textures and technologies entangled with field recording using movement, objects and experimental recording techniques. She creates intimate, delicate and hybrid soundworlds which centre the interactions and collectivity which generate soundscapes. She works across composition, performance and installation. Everything from vibrations caused by cars and footfalls, to overheard murmurs, public speeches, music in public space, and the roar of distant sporting events has found its way into her compositions, and live performances. Inspired by the layers, minglings and silences in our collective soundscapes, Carr is interested in composing works probe the soundscape for clues as to how we negotiate living together. She is particularly focused on hybrid soundscapes: where forest meets town, nuclear power plant meets wetland, booming car stereo meets residential street.
