Taking an equal parts experimental and intimate approach to sound and performance, the work of Brussels-based sound artist and musician Liew Niyomkarn focuses on listening practices and the conveyance of memories through sound. She uses field recordings to detect time, (non)-human’s voices, everyday routines, text, archrival sounds, and different tuning systems in nature — to combine them with a sonic palette and the properties of sound itself such as sounds of spaces. The results are deeply personal and texturally layered works that capture the complexities and multiplicity of lived life. Best heard on the diaristic, ambient soundscapes of her recent album I Think Of Another Time When You Heard It (2022) that channels the artists’ memories of her childhood home in Thailand, Niyomkarn’s delicate treatment of sound channels subjective experiences into compelling pieces of experimental music, conjuring fragile narrative worlds that draw the listener in.
