aux) invites students and alumni from Sandberg and Rietveld for a second event guided by Julia Eckhardt. During the first part of the session, Julia will share her own research on working with and around sound, drawing from her experience as a musician, sound artist, and curator, and her collaborations with pioneering electronic music composer Eliane Radigue. During the second part, participants will have the opportunity to share their own audios, scores, or performances with each other, and have a close conversation and feedback from Julia. 

The idea is to start nurturing a space together where we can collaborate, create and think around sound matters, with an open and experimental approach. Participants will be asked to bring a sound material no more than 5 minutes long. We strongly encourage applicants with any kind of experience and from diverse backgrounds to participate. 

Julia Eckhardt is a musician and organiser in the field of the sonic arts. She is a founding member and artistic co-director of Q-O2 workspace in Brussels, for which she conceptualized various thematic research projects. As a performer of composed and improvised music she has collaborated with numerous artists, and extensively with Éliane Radigue. She has performed internationally, and released a number of recordings. She has been lecturing about topics such as sound, gender and public space, and is the (co-)author of The Second Sound, conversations on gender and music, Grounds for Possible Music, The Middle Matter – sound as interstice, and Éliane Radigue – Intermediary Spaces/Espaces intermédiaires.
