Abstract

The most recent practices in sound art have emerged as pre-eminent spaces in which to question the interaction of sound with its environment. Accordingly, in this article, I envisage Arrhythmia, the sound installation by Bosch and Simons with Kostyrko (2019), as a device that helps to outline a horizontal sound ecology. This approach, which takes as its starting point the sound and material vibration in its entirety, implies a positive acceptance of an ontological continuity between the human and the non-human. This, in turn, implies that issues such as biopolitics cannot be reduced to the human realm. With this in mind, Arrhythmia emerges as a new kind of singular entity from which relationships with the environment can be conceived in a non-fragmented way.
