*Sirenology* is a project that originates from my Master’s thesis at KTH (Stockholm, Sweden). Inspired by a hunch, I sought to recontextualize the air raid siren into a musical instrument. Tracing its history, I uncovered ways in which the siren facilitates the exploration of sound in the physical, philosophical and embodied plains. The project is an invitation to challenge hegemonic ideas relating to sound, music and instruments. A document detailing my research findings is now public, I will share it upon request via email.
This is an ongoing project that takes the form of:
- a workshop
- live performances
- and fixed media pieces
