Ephemeral Cities: with Katt Hernandez
We'll collage field recordings into pictures of places they do not represent, play live and recorded music for the forgotten and imagined city and, of course, tell stories in a collage of places that disappeared, were never found, or maybe even never existed.
Katt Hernandez in conversation with Kate Donovan of CoLaboRadio.
Katt Hernandez is an avid, longtime player of all manner of experimental, improvised and other sorts of music on the violin. She is also a composer of electroacoustic music, and a maker of sound installations. She spent a long portion of life deeply engaged in running artspaces in all their magic impossibility, before embarking on the monastic-like pursuit of earning a PhD. In this contemplative place, she is reflecting on questions about the disempowering transformation of cities at this time in the world, and whether the subtle, the ephemeral and the imaginary can offer some form of re-empowerment to city-dwellers.
