Agora Circuit is a live in-situ circuit at ancient Messene (Greek Peloponnese), directly patched into the location’s expanse of stone, dirt and air. The circuit rewires human-mineral binds by interlinking column vibrations, irrigation channel infrasound, telluric currents from tropical thunderstorms and future earthquakes, standardized marketplace measure resonances and the politics of stoa reverb. This talk will discuss practical considerations of opening into the situated oscillations at Messene’s agora as a means of engaging with a multitude of spatial, temporal and contextual agencies on site.

Raviv Ganchrow researches interdependencies of sound, locale and hearing through installations, writing, and the development of transduction technologies. His sound works attend to spatial-material manifestations of situated oscillations in conditions such as environmental infrasound, telluric currents, long-range radio, ocean acoustics, and anechoic chambers. Recent installations relay contextual dynamics by way of in-situ circuits directly pated into locales. Raviv publishes, workshops, and lectures broadly on auditory contexts and sonic agency and is currently a faculty member at the Institute of Sonology, University of the Arts, The Hague.
