In conversation between Marika Agu and DJ Dodomundo, podcast Majickk Sounds touches upon the question what happens when an art gallery shapeshifts into a dance club, but also the effects that sound has on the body and mind.

Majickk sound. A conversation with Dodomundo

On the first episode of Majickk Sound, the host Marika Agu interviews sound artist John Grzinich to discuss his current practice, developments in the field of sound art and tackle his personal ambivalence towards the variety of sounds. The podcast features a snippet from Geofractions (2021), a composition consisting of field recordings of the extractive and residual mining processes in Ida-Virumaa, as well as a track titled Recurrent Territories (2005), recorded and produced while travelling in Estonia, Germany, Italy and USA. John Grzinich’s extensive sound practice involves field recording, kinetic sculptures, electro-acoustic composition, filmmaking, performance, group workshops and exercises in listening. Currently he is teaching as associate professor in the new media department at the Estonian Academy of Arts.
