tekhnē #12 - Pedro Oliveira

This twelfth episode features an interview with Brazilian sound artist and sound studies scholar Pedro Oliveira, who is based in Berlin. Oliveira works at the intersection of decolonial and sonic thought. During his tekhnē residency at TRAFO, he further developed his ongoing research on borders, migration, and bodies, expanding a long-term project that brings these themes together.

The interview was recorded in Szczecin following Oliveira's performative lecture marking the conclusion of his residency. Conducted by Piotr Tkacz, editor of the Glissando quarterly, the conversation explores the relationship between Oliveira's artistic practice and art-as-research, the evolution of his creative work, and the ways in which sonic technologies intersect with contemporary border regimes and migration policies.

This episode also includes excerpts from several of Oliveira's sound works, including DESMONTE (with Fernanda Lira), a live performance with Mauricio Takara at the AdK Berlin in 2023, and an unreleased experiment from Dubwise Machine Listening.


Bi-monthly insights into the activities of the European project tekhnē, which started in 2023. The series showcases a selection of artists who share and discuss their work and listen to recorded material. By putting the focus on the user rather than the developer, this project aims to explore the emancipatory potential of technology in music and sound art. Technology as an art of craft, appropriating and transforming existing tools, to imagine multiple ways of creative misuse. tekhnē is a collaborative project, co-funded by the European Union.

Teaching Computers to Love #11 - Saga Chalotte, Zowze & George Rayner Law

Charlotte Saga

Olivia Morgan is a London based musician playing synth in Nukuluk and Blue Bendy. She is interested in distorting sounds and making instruments/soundscapes from recordings or samples. This is a somewhat nostalgic piece inspired by the death of my cat. She recorded him purring the day he was put to sleep and used the recording to make many of the sounds that create this space. It’s a melancholic, calm environment with occasional disjointed sounds and implications of unease.

George Rayner-Law is a sound worker from South London, with an art practice in Noise. Recently, he has completed collaborations with Nicholas Tee on the video pieces untitled [circuit breaker], You Will Not Feel This Way Forever, and sound for the durational installation REST-LESS. He has an ongoing collaboration with Dominic O’Donoghue on the Bootlicker project, and is an ongoing contributor to Louis Grace’s series on Resonance Extra. He also has a recent release via Brachliegen Tapes.

Beyond this, he is an experienced radio broadcast engineer, and has produced work spanning radio arts, installation, video, live performance and commercial release, as well as running DIY record labels.


Louis Grace presents Teaching Computers to Love. This is a collaborative platform for artists to develop an episode sonically with a 10-20 minute body of work.
