On today’s show we are going to listen to the long form sound art composition Zand by Dutch sound artist Marieke Van de ven. And after listening that host Darren Copeland will have a conversation with her to learn more about the piece.

Zand explores sand grains as material, concept and sound. Viewed from different perspectives, the sand grains become a place to explore and wander. A composition of subtle grains to colossal layers of sound and back again. A movement, a duration, a route.

As a composer and sound artist, Marieke Vande vin likes to zoom in on environmental sounds. The sound of sand is a sonic adventure where texture and associations with the material guides her process. Van de van searches for the meaning of the ordinary in the mundane details of life - and she connects the listener to the origins of the materials she explores.

The show closes with an excerpt from Black Poplar 86.3 Mhz by American transdisciplinary artist Dann Disciglio.
