In one of my sound projects, in increments of 13, I set out to research oral histories related to popular medicine, healing devotions, and rituals that were practiced in the valley where I grew up in northern Italy. This project began as a sonic response to the early writings of Italian anthropologist Franca Romano, who, in the 1970s, met and interviewed some of the local healers active in the area. Romano's accounts are full of sensory and often sonic details.

In one of its iterations, in increments of 13 takes the form of a sound library that engages with Romano's text through sound interventions, sound synthesis, listening scores, and field recordings, to consider how sound and voice, intonations, accents, and spells have been used to create vibratory models of solidarity and collective care.

The following provocation is an invitation to engage with one’s own listening habits and positionality, and to detect, receive, and perhaps even interfere with vibrations that may no longer be audible but still resonate.

Elisa Ferrari works with sound, performance and writing. Her practice and collaborations are concerned with memory formations, idleness, sonic sediments, translingual ecologies, somatic inquiries and the infrasonic. She hosts aux-sends—a quarterly radio series about experimental music, sound and poetics—on Vancouver Co-op radio. Her recent solo and collaborative projects have been presented at the Nanaimo Art Gallery, Kamias Triennial, Vancouver Art Gallery, Western Front, Q-O2 Brussels and CAG. She lives as an uninvited guest on unceded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh territories, and in Brescia, Italy, where she was born.
