CRÁTER
Cráter launches in 2022 with its first edition of a residency for artistic research in La Palma, Canary Islands. International sound artists, artists and composers from 5 countries are part of this first experiment, including Spain, Germany, Austria, Perú and the Autonomous Region Kurdistan/Iraq.
The artists are invited to investigate site-specific peculiarities of the island, exploring its sounds and listening perspectives as well as any rhythmic structures. What are the sounds and rhythms specific to this island? What does this place evoke? Which time structures exist here? Connections between nature and the urban environment of the island and its particular patterns will be drawn. Multiple perceptions resonate in the exhibited and performed works on visual, sonic and performatic levels.
This is the first Sound Art oriented multimedia art show in La Palma, Canary Islands. Site-specific artworks are presented in public at the exhibition space Sala O ́Daly in the capital town Santa Cruz de La Palma in April 2022. The project is a hybrid between sound pieces, multimedia art, performance art and installations.

He has performed internationally, including in Germany (also in collaboration with the group Adapter), Lebanon, Sweden, and London. Hardi’s compositions contain evocative and unusual sounds. Among other things, the artist uses radio to explore electromagnetic frequencies as sound material and was part of the Radio Art Residency in Halle (Germany). Hardi Kurda not only composes classical acoustic and experimental electronic music, but also develops pieces in which music interacts with different art forms in new art spaces to create new listening experiences. He uses found scores, a new listening medium he has developed, like the pattern of a traditional Kurdish carpet. He has organized unusual sound art exhibitions in public spaces, such as public buses or old hammams (oriental bathhouses with special acoustics). Hardi’s latest piece for electroacoustic music was presented at the Slemani-Kurdistan Listening Biennial as part of the Global Listening Biennial 2021.
