Soundchains, 2021

Soundchains is a virtual artists exchange program between Indian and German artists. The first edition of Soundchains in 2021, featured Berlin-based composer, Sergey Khismatov and Bangalore-based visual artist, Chaitanya Krishnan.

The first edition of Soundchains focused on spatial audio and virtual reality. During the program Sergey Khismatov and Chaitanya krishnan developed Zoophony VR – a spatial audio and virtual reality work. The work is the result of an obsessive, decade-long project by Khismatov to collect animal sounds and use them in a symphony. Chaitanya worked with Sergey Khismatov to interpret the Zoophony score and transform it into a claustrophobic, ghostly and sometimes magical atmosphere. Zoophony VR deals with environmental concerns that inform the practices of both the artists. Zoophony VR premiered as a physical as well as online exhibition on the 19th of December 2021.
