Echoes of Ladakh - sā ladakh landart-festival in Leh, India – 2024
Site-specific sound-installation, conceived for the highest landart-festival 'sā ladakh'
Echoes of Ladakh is a site-specific sound-installation, conceived for the highest landart-festival Festival (sā ladakh) in Asia. It deals with the subject of Acoustic Ecology within Disko Valley, Leh and its surrounding landscape and gives 'sā' a voice, makes audible what normally can't be heard. It's conceptualised as an ongoing project at the festival which starts with an empty space and will be filled up from day to day with new sounds that are recorded in the landscape and with people living or working in Leh. An automated application is randomly mixing theses sounds into each other so that every time you enter the space it becomes a unique experience. Ramon's motivation for this installation was to work with the invisible dimension of this landscape and to make its ephemeral quality tangible through the change of perspective.
Attached to the Installation there was also a performance evening at the Ladakh Arts and Media Organisation (LAMO) where Ramon took the festival visitors on a journey into an unknown dimensions - a sound performance with self-recorded sound pearls from all over the world - woven live into a soundscape-composition, accompanied here and there by his voice with hints and connections between the sounds. The second part of the performance was accompanied by the wonderful performance of Mukulita Ganguly.
