Sonic Darts June 2025: CYLAND Audio Archive: Introduction
CYLAND Audio Archive: Introduction
What you’re about to hear is a curated selection of works by international sound artists — part of an ongoing effort to give sound art its rightful place alongside visual media. The archive began as a response to the way sound was often marginalized within exhibition spaces — confined to headphones or treated as secondary. Our goal was to elevate it: to present it physically and publicly, and to give it presence through formats such as vinyl and digital distribution.
What started as an experimental initiative evolved into a platform — a record label, and a curatorial tool — dedicated to showcasing sound and diverse approaches to working with it in exhibition spaces and beyond.
This program includes early electronic sculptures by Peter Vogel, sharp modular synthesis from Yoshio Machida and Tod Barton, and heavy analog textures from Nick Edwards, aka Ekoplekz. You’ll also hear acoustic experiments by Georgy Bagdasarov, poetic tape collage by Sasha Ults, and raw digital overload from Hans Tammen. Also featured are site-responsive works by Jonáš Gruska, absurdist sonic theater from Peter Um, and contributions by Russian artists Vasily Stepanov, Dmitry Morozov, and our own collective project, Kurvenschreiber.
This selection reflects the scope and intent of the archive: to capture sound art as a tactile, conceptual, and often unpredictable form. You can explore more releases or download the works freely via our Bandcamp page: https://cyland.bandcamp.com/
