A residency in 2017 at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, in Braga, Portugal, was an opportunity for Pedro Rebelo<\/a> to discover the world of nanotechnology research, in particular through following researchers working on a project in the area of food safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebelo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s primary interest in sound led him to explore the sonorities of the research processes, the labs, the machinery and the entire sonic environment within which researchers operate at INL. The richness of this environment is remarkable, as researchers gradually \u00e2\u20ac\u0153tune in\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to specific sounds and patterns that ultimately embed their sense of time and space. From the blips of a certain piece of equipment, the huge air handling fans, the hiss of pouring liquid nitrogen, to the piercing sharpness of ultrasound \u00e2\u20ac\u0153baths\u00e2\u20ac\u009d used to mix specific compounds, this sound world is full of signs, full of aural cues saying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153listen to me!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The residency resulted in a sound installation at GNRation and then it developed into a further exploration of the sound materials collected in the two pieces presented in this release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedro Rebelo is a composer, sound artist and performer. In 2002, he was awarded a PhD by the University of Edinburgh where he conducted research in both music and architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedro has recently led participatory projects involving communities in Belfast, favelas in Mar\u00c3\u00a9, Rio de Janeiro, travelling communities in Portugal and a slum town in Mozambique. This work has resulted in sound art exhibitions at venues such as the Metropolitan Arts Centre, Belfast, Centro Cultural Portugu\u00c3\u00aas Maputo, Espa\u00c3\u00a7o Ecco in Brasilia and Parque Lage and Museu da Mar\u00c3\u00a9 in Rio, Museu Nacional Gr\u00c3\u00a3o Vasco and MAC Nit\u00c3\u00a9roi. His music has been presented in venues such as the Melbourne Recital Hall, National Concert Hall Dublin, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Ars Electronica, Casa da M\u00c3\u00basica, and in events such as Weimarer Fr\u00c3\u00bchjahrstage fur zeitgen\u00c3\u00b6ssische Musik, Wien Modern Festival, Cynetart and M\u00c3\u00basica Viva. His work as a pianist and improviser has been released by Creative Source Recordings and he has collaborated with musicians such as Chris Brown, Mark Applebaum, Carlos Z\u00c3\u00adngaro, Evan Parker and Pauline Oliveros as well as artists such as Suzanne Lacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012 he was appointed Professor of Sonic Arts at Queen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s University Belfast and awarded the Northern Bank\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Building Tomorrow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Belfast\u00e2\u20ac\u009d prize. He has recently been awarded two major grants from the Arts and Humanities Research Council including the interdisciplinary project \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sounding Conflict\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, investigating relationships between sound, music and conflict situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Listen to me<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0is now available as a limited-release cassette and for download or stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
