An expert team of curators, all seasoned sound professionals facilitate staging the presentations to the highest standards in an immersive multichannel environment to an audience
The curators hope to stage 20+ entries over a period of 2-3 days. Typically, mornings are tech preparation for afternoon and evening presentations of around 30 minutes duration with short change over breaks as required.
Sound Kitchen has a reputation as a crucible for the exchange of ideas resulting in the formation of countless international friendships and collaborations. Offering a platform to budding and established sound artists and designers to present their work in a relaxed congenial environment creates a rare opportunity to experiment and bond while learning from each other.
SK presentations and performances are: brilliant, bizarre, intelligent, inspirational, visceral, moving, highly entertaining and even very funny. We are deeply grateful to the many truly talented individuals and groups who have contributed to date and look forward to more of the same in the future.
With no budget of its own, SK curators, collaborators and contributors cover their own costs to attend. SK requires a free of cost space for the event provided by PQ or affiliate organisation or institution.
SK is dependent on generous support from the professional audio community, who since inception have helped curate and provide sound equipment for previous SK gatherings. A suitable space and dates are hopefully soon to be confirmed and once agreed the call for entries can be published and the process can start. Contributors need to plan dates and in many cases arrange funding which can take time.
