What Is Sound Art? 

Sound art is a diverse and interdisciplinary form of art that primarily utilizes sound, acoustics, and auditory elements as its medium of expression. It breaks away from traditional notions of music by emphasizing the artistic and aesthetic qualities of sound itself, rather than focusing solely on melody, harmony, or rhythm. Sound artists often work with various sonic elements, including field recordings, found sounds, electronic synthesis, spoken word, and more, to create immersive and thought-provoking experiences.

About LOOS

LOOS is a unique performers’ lab and foundation that explores innovative performing techniques, merging traditional instruments with cutting-edge technology. They delve into both production and presentation, emphasizing reflection on practice and aesthetic expression.

Studio LOOS, established in 2005, serves as a hub for experimental music and artistic research in The Hague.
