POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Part of the Sonic Acts Biennial 2026 series, 'Ex Aqua' is a poetic collaboration bringing together theorist and poet Ayesha Hameed and musician Aimée Theriot in a live exploration of listening, grief, memory, and loss. The piece premiered at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam during the Biennial Symposium.

→ Watch the full performance on the Sonic Acts YouTube channel, or listen to the podcast on SoundCloud, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. LINK IN BIO.

In their performance, Hameed and Theriot explore ‘exaqua’ – a term coined by poet M. NourbeSe Philip in 'Zong!' to describe a watery equivalent of exhumation, or the act of reclaiming from the earth. Inviting the audience into what Palestinian artist Bint Mbareh calls ‘aggressive listening’, they work with fragments of language and sound that surface, overlap, and dissolve. Through improvisation, this resonant performance creates a space where grief, memory, and loss can be approached through the unstable materiality of sound.

This video is part of the Sonic Acts Biennial 2026 Symposium online lecture video series. It is realised as part of ‘New Perspectives for Action’, a project by Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the EU.

Some impressions of our event back in July for the launch of Clipping 3: Unbound Echo.

A BIG thank you to everyone that joined us and shared an intimate listening moment at @outline.platform

About the publication:

Clipping 3 takes its cue from Unbound Echo, a sonic installation by Aimée Theriot exploring echo as both a material phenomenon and a conceptual method.

Through scores, essays, field notes, poems, mythology, and oral traditions, this issue approaches echo not as repetition, but as transformation—reverberating across sound, memory, technology, architecture, and embodied practice.

Clippings is an initiave of Federica Notari @notajpeg as part of Nieuwe Instituut's research platform Through Sounds.

We are live!

Thrilled to share my updated website, designed by the super talented @deevasilevskaia

It was such a joy to work together on this project and make something that I feel really represents me. The goal was to blend inner child playfulness and my grown-up work. So happy with this result.

Nowadays, when we think of sound, we immediately think of advanced PA systems, high-fidelity speakers and the relentless pursuit of better audio technology. However, during Conflux 2025, Robbie Doorman showed us through his Sonance installation series that you don’t need fancy speakers when you can create your own.

Moving away from conventional loudspeakers and optimal sound references, ‘Sonance III’ invited the audience to experience Doorman’s self-crafted sculptures as a sonic composition. During Conflux 2025, Aimée Theriot and Jilles van Kleef were invited to contribute their unique sound compositions, ‘Chorale v.1’ and ‘See If See If See Thee’, to the installation.

The outcome of these two performances has just been released digitally, alongside a video recording of Jilles van Kleef’s performance featuring electric guitar and electronics.

The digital release is now available on Bandcamp. We also invited them to reflect on the work they presented at last year’s edition. You can read the interview via our website, find the link in the bio!

I am super excited to be joining forces with Vivian Wang @wangvivian next Thursday, September 4, at Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam.

We are cooking a listening event where we weave together sounds from the building’s surroundings with the voices and traces left by visitors in my interactive installation unbound echo.

Parallel Resonances draws on found sound, field recordings, collective voices, and live material, where Vivian and I will create a shared improvisational landscape in dialogue with the environment and those present. The audience is invited to step into this process and become part of the soundscape as it unfolds as well.

This program is part of Living Forms: Experiences between Architecture and Emotion, an afternoon and evening of performances and conversations stretching out of the exhibition Ma Yansong: Architecture and Emotion. The program includes talks by Xu Weichao with Mark Minkjan, Mira Nekova, and Gary Zhexi Zhang, leading up to Parallel Resonances at 20:00.

Parallel Resonances is a collaboration with Federica Notari @notajpeg, as part of Through Sounds, a long-term research project that looks at ‘sonic culture’ as a field for spatial and social design.

📍 Nieuwe Instituut, Museumpark 25, Rotterdam
🗓 Thursday 4 September
⏰ 16:00–21:30 (our performance 20:00–21:00)

For the full programme, check out @nieuweinstituut

The Ma Yansong: Architecture and Emotion exhibition features an interactive audiovisual installation created especially for the show by artist and composer Aimée Theriot (@mucha_mucha_cha) . This commission includes a public programme. On 5 July we had the first workshop and explored repetition, reverberation, and spatial interaction through embodied listening exercises and improvisational sound-making. Participants collectively shaped a composition that evolves throughout the workshop, prompted by MAD's archive. ⁠

I’m facilitating a workshop on July 5 at @nieuweinstituut (Rotterdam, NL) and you’re all invited! Read on for info. Sign up link in my bio. Limited spaces.

My interactive sound piece 𝙪𝙣𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙤 started from a simple question: what if we saw boundaries not as limits, but as places where something new can emerge?

The work plays with echo, resonance, and reverberation to explore how sound can bring up questions about memory, connection, and how we relate to each other and the spaces we share.

Like much of my creative work, this piece is an invitation to listen, not just to sound, but to each other. It asks, what happens when we pay attention to the edges between us, and how can those edges shift, soften, and open us up to change when we truly meet in collaborative resonance?

As part of this commission, I will facilitate the workshop 𝙪𝙣𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙤: 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙, 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙮. Together we will interpret an open sound score, moving through listening exercises, improvisational sound-making, and creating a collective sonic composition.

No musical background is needed to participate, just curiosity, openness, and the intention to collaboratively explore these ideas through sound, music, and listening. Feel free to bring any object or instrument capable of making sound, no matter how simple or unconventional.

Date: Saturday, 5 July from 2–5pm at Nieuwe Instituut. RSVP needed, link in my bio!

𝙪𝙣𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙤 is an interactive sound installation commissioned by the ongoing Nieuwe Instituut research project Through Sounds that asks, “Where do we listen?”, unfolding listening infrastructures. The work is part of the exhibition "Ma Yansong: Architecture and Emotion", showing until October 12.

Very grateful to my amazing collaborators Tjobo Kho @tj0ki , Stijn van Beek @stijnvanbeek25 , Clara Rojas @clararojassss , Federica Notari @notajpeg
