The psychological effects of sound with Nicolás Kisic Aguirre

Embrace the Unknown/Recorded 2018

A close reading, kept within reach.

The short version

Nicolás Kisic Aguirre takes music & sound design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.

Recorded in Peru in 2018, the conversation is grounded in Nicolás's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.

The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
