“Incredibly deep conceptual sound art about mankind’s impact on the natural world, particularly its waterways and specifically, the Adriatic Sea of the title. Constructed of layers of field recordings, subtle synth tones and other mysterious timbres, this is a visceral, impactful listening experience, somewhere between musique concrete and drone.” (Ether Diver)

Hidden Adriatic is an immersive sonic exploration crafted by the collaborative process of artists Manja Ristić and Robertina Šebjanič. This project delves into the intricate tapestry of soundscapes within the Adriatic Sea and its interconnected rivers flowing into it.

Through this sonic journey, the artists delve into the fragility of our endangered environment due to anthropogenic presence. Their creative process is guided by profound intuitions, necessitating an extensive exploration of the site’s trans-disciplinary history, rich biodiversity, and personal observation.

“Neverjetno globoko konceptualno zvočno delo o vplivu človeštva na naravni svet, predvsem na njegove vodne poti in še posebej na Jadransko morje, ki je v naslovu tudi izpostavljeno. Zgrajeno je iz plasti terenskih posnetkov, subtilnih sintetičnih tonov in drugih skrivnostnih zvočnih barv, kar ustvarja visceralno in močno izkušnjo poslušanja, nekje med musique concrète in dronom.”
(Ether Diver)

Hidden Adriatic je imerzivno zvočno raziskovanje, nastalo skozi sodelovalni proces umetnic Manje Ristić in Robertine Šebjanič. Projekt se poglablja v kompleksno mrežo zvočnih krajin Jadranskega morja in z njim povezanih rek, ki se vanj izlivajo.

Skozi to zvočno potovanje umetnici raziskujeta krhkost ogroženega okolja, ki ga spreminja človekova prisotnost. Njun ustvarjalni proces vodijo globoke intuicije, ki zahtevajo obsežno raziskovanje večplastne zgodovine prostora, njegove bogate biotske raznovrstnosti ter osebnega opazovanja.
