SONANT BODIES

a sonic collaborative, collective since 2014.

"Organically flowing, immersive"

Limelight Magazine (2018)

"Equally Immersive and corporeal"

Kate Tribe, ClassicON (2018)

Sonant Bodies is a sound-art collective co-directed by Victoria Pham and James Hazel. Together their work explores the idea of the sonorous body, and how practices of resonance can activate objects and agents, both sonically and metaphorically. Their body of work exists in the nexus between sound installation, performance and electro-acoustic practice.

In early 2018, Sonant Bodies had their first self-titled solo exhibition at Maitland Regional Art Gallery. Sonant Bodies' work has been performed at Vivid Sydney (2016 & 2018), Back Stage Music Series Curated by Liz Jigalin & Lamorna Nightingale, Sydney Fringe Festival, 107 Projects, & Erskineville Townhall, This is Not Art Festival, Cracked Theatre Festival, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Newcastle Writer's Festival, Tilde New Music Festival, and Spineless Wonders.
