The relationship between sound, music, and space has always been close. Historically, it has served as a “barometer” for tracking the changes and often radical transformations in the process of composition and the perception of sound. This specific relationship will be the focus of the sound art workshop cycle Latent Space, designed for young artists who explore sound as a medium for creating. Following an extremely successful first run last year, this season, the workshops will centre on Béla Bartók’s subversive opera Bluebeard’s Castle, encouraging young composers and sound artists to select a text that explores the concept of space and use it to experiment with creating sound compositions. Moreover, participants will have the opportunity to be involved in the creation, design, and set-up of a unique multi-channel sound system, which will be showcased at the National Library of Greece’s Book Castle on 27 March 2025.
