PROJECT INFORMATION 

Touching Huesca is a site-responsive sound art project developed during an artist residency in the Huesca region of the Spanish Pyrenees in 2009.

Built from field recordings, photography, encounters with local communities, and research into the region, the project resulted in three experimental compositions exploring the relationship between landscape, modernization, and cultural memory. The works move between the electrical infrastructure cutting through the Pyrenees, abandoned mountain villages shaped by migration and industrialization, and the contrasting social landscape of the city of Huesca.

Everyday environmental sounds and documentary material were transformed into compositions combining field recordings, electronics and saxophone. The three works were subsequently presented live in concert, accompanied by projected photography from the region.

Touching Huesca was developed through the Pépinières Européennes pour Jeunes Artistes residency. The three compositions were later released as part of the album My Name Is Ann – The World Is My Oyster.
