I am super excited to be joining forces with Vivian Wang @wangvivian next Thursday, September 4, at Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam. We are cooking a listening event where we weave together sounds from the building’s surroundings with the voices and traces left by visitors in my interactive installation unbound echo. Parallel Resonances draws on found sound, field recordings, collective voices, and live material, where Vivian and I will create a shared improvisational landscape in dialogue with the environment and those present. The audience is invited to step into this process and become part of the soundscape as it unfolds as well. This program is part of Living Forms: Experiences between Architecture and Emotion, an afternoon and evening of performances and conversations stretching out of the exhibition Ma Yansong: Architecture and Emotion. The program includes talks by Xu Weichao with Mark Minkjan, Mira Nekova, and Gary Zhexi Zhang, leading up to Parallel Resonances at 20:00. Parallel Resonances is a collaboration with Federica Notari @notajpeg , as part of Through Sounds, a long-term research project that looks at ‘sonic culture’ as a field for spatial and social design. 📍 Nieuwe Instituut, Museumpark 25, Rotterdam 🗓 Thursday 4 September ⏰ 16:00–21:30 (our performance 20:00–21:00) For the full programme, check out @nieuweinstituut 📸 Image credits: Aimée Theriot, unbound echo, 2025, installation view at Nieuwe Instituut.

The Ma Yansong: Architecture and Emotion exhibition features an interactive audiovisual installation created especially for the show by artist and composer Aimée Theriot (@mucha_mucha_cha ) . This commission includes a public programme. On 5 July we had the first workshop and explored repetition, reverberation, and spatial interaction through embodied listening exercises and improvisational sound-making. Participants collectively shaped a composition that evolves throughout the workshop, prompted by MAD's archive. ⁠ ⁠ 📲 Learn more about 'unbound echo’ by Aimée Theriot via the link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ 📸 by @kleonikistanich ⁠ and Sigrún Sveinsdóttir ⁠ ⁠

I’m facilitating a workshop on July 5 at @nieuweinstituut (Rotterdam, NL) and you’re all invited! Read on for info. Sign up link in my bio. Limited spaces. My interactive sound piece 𝙪𝙣𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙤 started from a simple question: what if we saw boundaries not as limits, but as places where something new can emerge? The work plays with echo, resonance, and reverberation to explore how sound can bring up questions about memory, connection, and how we relate to each other and the spaces we share. Like much of my creative work, this piece is an invitation to listen, not just to sound, but to each other. It asks, what happens when we pay attention to the edges between us, and how can those edges shift, soften, and open us up to change when we truly meet in collaborative resonance? As part of this commission, I will facilitate the workshop 𝙪𝙣𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙤: 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙, 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙮. Together we will interpret an open sound score, moving through listening exercises, improvisational sound-making, and creating a collective sonic composition. No musical background is needed to participate, just curiosity, openness, and the intention to collaboratively explore these ideas through sound, music, and listening. Feel free to bring any object or instrument capable of making sound, no matter how simple or unconventional. Date: Saturday, 5 July from 2–5pm at Nieuwe Instituut. RSVP needed, link in my bio! 𝙪𝙣𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙤 is an interactive sound installation commissioned by the ongoing Nieuwe Instituut research project Through Sounds that asks, “Where do we listen?”, unfolding listening infrastructures. The work is part of the exhibition "Ma Yansong: Architecture and Emotion", showing until October 12.

unbound echo by Aimée Theriot (@mucha_mucha_cha ) considers how sound interacts with material limits, inspired by the Shanshui . The piece is an evolving sonic installation and accompanying public program that explores the phenomena of echoes, resonance, and reverberation, not just as sonic events, but as reflections on memory and transformation. The work grows through participation, shaped by the audience as much as by the architecture around it and the materials that compose it. Voices overlap and leave impressions, connecting sound, space, and memory. The piece was made in collaboration with Tjobo Kho (@tj0ki ), Clara Rojas (@clararojassss ), and Stijn van Beek (@stijnvanbeek25 ). ⁠ ⁠ This commission includes a public program, beginning with a workshop on July 5th from 2 - 5 pm. The session will explore repetition, reverberation, and spatial interaction through embodied listening exercises and improvisational sound-making. Participants will collectively shape a composition that evolves throughout the workshop. No musical background is required to participate, the workshop is open to all interested in its themes.⁠ ⁠ Further announcements about the unbound echo public program will be shared soon.⁠ ⁠ unbound echo was commissioned as part of the ongoing Nieuwe Instituut research project Through Sounds that asks, “Where do we listen?”, unfolding listening infrastructures. These are the conditions—physical, digital, political, socio-economic—that enable the possibilities to access, encounter, and gather through music and sound, the places where we listen. ⁠ ⁠ Aimée Theriot (MX) is an artist with a fluid practice that takes shape through text, music, curatorial projects, installation, and research. At the heart of her work is a deep fascination with sound and vibration, approaching listening as both a method and a destination for understanding the world. Trained as a composer and musician with a focus on experimental practices, her music is grounded in free improvisation and draws from ambient, electroacoustic, and deep listening traditions. She currently lives and works in Amsterdam.⁠ ⁠ 📸 by @kleonikistanich ⁠

FEAR OF THE OBJECT is a site-specific intervention utilizing live video and sound performance to put into dialogue the architectural resonances and dissonances found within physical space, sound, and light. The music is based on Ingar Zach's transducer driven membranes, Aimée Theriot's subtle textures and fleeting harmonics on the cello, while audio generated video projected from Kjell Bjørgeengen is fed back into sound and blurs distinctions between hearing and seeing. For the Norway performances, the ensemble is joined by Inga Margrete Aas on double bass.

Fans of long, meandering electro-acoustic compositions that exercise tremendous instrumental restraint, will surely find something here worth returning to.” @kjellbjorgeengen @ingar_zach @mucha_mucha_cha #Inga Margrete Aas Supported by @stimuleringsfonds NL, @mondriaanfonds NL, Fund for Performing Artists, NO

This is Aimée, soon at Loom Fest, presented by Subbacultcha and We Are Public. ⁠ ⁠ Aimée Theriot is a sound artist, researcher, organizer and musician interested in understanding the world through its sounds and vibrations. She has a shapeshifting practice that manifests as text, music, curatorial work, installation, research, and performance. With a background in free improvisation and experimental music, she draws from ambient, ASMR, deep listening, and soundscape recordings, with a heavy dose of experimentation using live electronics, e-cello, guitar, voice and other sounding objects. Her work has been presented at festivals and galleries internationally, and her music can be found in labels such as Sofa Music, Editions Verde, Unheard Records, Relative Pitch Records amongst others. ⁠ ⁠ Next week Saturday, you can hear Aimée's experimental drone at de Kleine Zaal in De Sloot.

Glad to share this new release with long time collaborator @kjellbjorgeengen , joined by Inga Margrete Aas, @ingar_zach , and Audun Strype. This review really catches the soul of what we were trying to do: "This piece is a dark, deep-toned drone that fills the architecture of any given space with its unsettling, subtle resonant and almost static ambiance. All the instruments - acoustic and electric, are mixed into one, minimalist resonant entity that foresees in its understated manner the inevitable, drowning into the coming darkness. It faithfully captures the dark poetic references of Chori and Henderson’s poem. It offers a listening experience that is more than an expressive endeavor and demands political awareness and activity about the world around us." (https://www.percorsimusicali.eu/) Listen and support: /album/leaves-never-fall-in-vain Mixed and mastered by Giuseppe Lelasi The recording features the poem “Democracy Destruct” by David Henderson, produced by Kjell Bjørgeengen at Harmolodic Studios, New York in 2003. The title "leaves never fall in vain" is taken from the Japanese poet Chori (1739-1778). Recorded live at Oslo's Kunstnernes Hus in October 2023. Released on True Blanking, 2024.
