On Thursday 11 May at 19.30hs, the artist Jorge Haro will be in conversation at the gallery, to explore 'materiality, space and time in sound work'.

L'exposition (London 22 - Madrid 23) propose un voyage à travers ce qui se passe et ce qui est possible dans l'art sonore aujourd'hui, en incorporant des enregistrements de terrain, des collages sonores, de la poétique, de l'intelligence artificielle et des sons trouvés.

La exhibición (London 22 - Madrid 23) propone un recorrido por lo que está ocurriendo y lo que es posible en el arte sonoro actual, incorporando grabaciones de campo, collages sonoros, poética, inteligencia artificial y sonido encontrado.

The exhibition (London 22 - Madrid 23) proposes a journey through what is happening and what is possible in sound art today, incorporating field recordings, sound collages, sound collages, poetics, artificial intelligence and found sound.

Les œuvres comprennent une pièce fascinante de Bernie Krause, pionnier de l'écologie sonore, et un joyau mettant en valeur l'éventail de Beatriz Ferreyra, qui, à 80 ans, est reconnue pour son rôle fondamental dans le développement de la musique concrète.

The works include a powerful piece by sound ecology pioneer Bernie Krause and a reworked gem from the archive of Beatriz Ferreyra, who in her 80s is receiving recognition for her foundational role in the development of musique concrète.

François K et Matthew Herbert, deux références majeures de la musique électronique, choisissent une approche différente de leurs œuvres en continuant d'innover avec les nouvelles technologies et l'IA. Alan Courtis continue de repousser les limites du son avec une composition qui rêve de nouveaux lieux impossibles. L'artiste de la performance Paula Garcia présente un collage des sons viscéraux d'un accident de voiture dont elle était l'un des conducteurs, tandis qu'Elsa M'Bala propose une nouvelle pièce de poésie sonore. L'artiste et ingénieur du son Marc Urselli retravaille ses enregistrements sur le terrain en Islande dans une évocation de la nature et de la mythologie de l'île.

Alan Courtis continúa ampliando los límites del sonido con una composición que sueña con nuevos lugares imposibles. La artista de performance Paula Garcia presenta un collage de los sonidos viscerales de un accidente de auto en el que ella era una de las conductoras; mientras que Elsa M'Bala brinda una nueva pieza de poesía sonora; y el artista e ingeniero de sonido Marc Urselli retrabaja sus grabaciones de campo en Islandia en una evocación a la naturaleza y la mítología isleña.

François K and Matthew Herbert, two key references in electronic music, both use new technologies and AI in their pieces but with very different approaches. Alan Courtis continues to push the boundaries of sound with a composition that dreams of new impossible places. Performance artist Paula Garcia presents a collage of the visceral sounds of a staged car crash in which she was one of the drivers; Elsa M'Bala provides a new piece of sound poetry; and artist and sound engineer Marc Urselli reworks field recordings from Iceland into an evocation of nature and Icelandic mythology.

Jorge Haro, qui est venu au vernissage et qui donnera une conférence la semaine prochaine, présente un enregistrement de terrain intime et expérimental ; la pièce de Fari Bradley évoque les distractions et les bruits de la vie contemporaine ; et Nyokabi Kariuki explore les couleurs et la mélancolie dans une composition subtile.

Jorge Haro, que estuvo en la inauguración y dará una charla la próxima semana, presenta un field recording íntimo y experimental; la pieza de Fari Bradley evoca las distraciones y ruidos de la vida contemporánea; y Nyokabi Kariuki explora los colores y la melancolía en una sutil composición.

Jorge Haro, who joined us for the opening and will give a talk next week, presents an intimate and experimental field recording; Fari Bradley's piece evokes the distractions and noises of contemporary life; and Nyokabi Kariuki explores colours and melancholy in a subtle composition.

Madrid in May

Le Son 7 will be in Madrid from 3 to 13 May 2023, at Doctor Fourquet 10, from Tuesday to Saturday 11am to 7pm.

A collective listening event in Buenos Aires

We were very happy to present a listening session in Buenos Aires at Artlab, last Sunday, March 12. We presented each of the works individually, in two sections with an interval in between.

Following on from the small, informal collective listening event that followed Fari Bradley's artist-talk in London, we arranged a showcase event in Artlab's wonderful performance space with a presentation by Jorge Haro of his own work and his artistic practice.

The space was limited to 80 visitors, so it was an invite-only event. The audience included sound artists, curators, journalists, representatives of the major galleries and institutions and friends.

As usual, we were very encouraged by the feedback we received after the event. Many of the visitors had visited our exhibition in Buenos Aires last year, and commented on the different experience of listening to the works alone in a gallery and collectively in a performance space. They also appreciated the diversity of the selection and its wide span of geography, cultures and ages.

Le Son 7 is committed to exploring the possibilities of audio-only sound art, and we will continue to work with this format. We will be having another collective listening event in conjunction with the exhibition starting May 3rd in Madrid.

Last days, and an artist talk on sound and immateriality

We're in the final days of the exhibition in London, which closes on Sunday 23rd.

But before that, on Saturday 22nd October at 12 midday, artist Fari Bradley will be in the gallery to discuss sound and immateriality, including a reading from her chapter in the recent Oxford Handbook of Sound Art.

Find us at 7 Club Row, Shoreditch E1 6JX until Sunday 23rd October.

The artists for London

Le Son 7 is pleased to announce the artists who will be exhibiting in London from 13-23 October.

Eleven exceptional artists, some established for decades but reinventing themselves with wisdom and imagination, deepening the essence of their practices. Others, experimenting, making their way forward, aligning creativity and thought in new approaches to sound.

Le Son 7 presents field recordings, experimentation, found sound, artificial intelligence and a varied range of works whose only tangibility is sound. With precision and determination, with adventure and radicality, these eleven artists offer us a panorama of contemporary sound art.

Preparing for London, already in New York

The new Le Son 7 exhibition will be from October 13th to 23th, in London. We are currently in conversation with the artists and will begin announcing them soon.

In the meantime, Stephen Vitiello's piece created for our last two exhibitions 'One string left and a head for the sea', is now on display as part of the art and technology program Harvestworks on Governors Island, NY, and can be heard in the Ear Hut listening station created by Miya Masaoka. The exhibit is open every weekend through August 7. More information on the Harvestworks site .

Now open in Buenos Aires

After Paris, Le Son 7 brings the same exhibition to Buenos Aires. We opened on Friday 18th and will be here in Recoleta, Las Heras 1722, piso 5 , until 2 April , open from noon to 7pm Tuesdays to Saturdays.

The works, created exclusively for the gallery and all unique editions, include improvisation, found-sounds, field recordings, sonification and sound poetry.

This is the second and last part of the Paris-Buenos Aires edition and another opportunity to hear and acquire the sound art in person.

In October we will present a new exhibition in London.

Update after Paris

We held our first exhibition in Paris in December. They were a remarkable two weeks; the beginning of something significant. We'd like to thank the artists and all the visitors, for their encouragement and goodwill.

Next: Buenos Aires! More information soon.

Greetings from Paris: c'est parti

We opened the gallery yesterday for the first time. Now we're receiving visitors, every day from 11am to 7pm until December 12th, at 32 Rue Pastourelle, 75003. If you're in Paris or have friends nearby, you're all very welcome.

The works are wonderful - plucked from the ether, beamed in from the solar system, generated by cutting edge software, recorded in fields, deconstructed, re-assembled, inventive, warm and intimate - we love them all. Excerpts of each work along with their texts are now published on the site: https://leson7.com/works
