The album “Permanence & Evanescence” marks the 15th anniversary of Binaural Nodar’s artist residency program in rural context, which was initiated from the willingness of its members to start a process of rooting in a specific territory, based on daily experience along with local communities of Portuguese municipalities such as Vouzela, Castro Daire, Viseu, São Pedro do Sul and Oliveira de Frades.
Since July 2006 more than 150 artists were hosted in villages from partner municipalities, providing a regular involvement between artists, geographical spaces and rural communities. A meeting between different ways of living, conceiving and translating the world, which was never conceived in a merely instrumental way, in the sense of the simple collection of documentation for the development of the art works, more like something organic, which is built naturally throughout time and which is based on a daily and communicative experience.
This album comprises a selection of 46 sound pieces composed between 2010 and 2021 by hosted artists in the context of Binaural Nodar’s Artist Residency Program.
