June – November 2025

soundpedro2025 (on-site & virtual) continues to explore sound intake: the encounter of any mechanism, organic or synthetic, with sound waves.

FLOOD seeks sound art for inclusion in a variety of on-site and online presentation
(see chart below for links to specific programs)

Chthonic: relating to the Underworld, a realm ruled by enigmas and psychopomps, a place of forgotten or yet to be remembered potential. Don’t mistake it for mere subterranean; chthonic implies both profound existential dread and hope.

• Conceptualization
• Connection of sound & hearing to sight and seeing

It is important that artists understand that soundpedro is a sound art event and not a music event. Work characterized solely by the elements and hierarchical use of pitch, melody, rhythm, tempo or meter will not be accepted. Juxtaposing musical content with sound or other sensory expressions should express the differences.
If the proposed work “sounds like music,” we require an explanation as to why it qualifies as sound art.
