Between water and its absence, Robin Servant conceives Dry/Wet as a sound-based research project on desertification, landscape transformation, and the water-related tensions of the Anthropocene. The project brings into relation two territories shaped by shared issues: Sabadell, with the Ripoll river, its industrial chimneys and water treatment infrastructures, and the Ebro Delta, a territory especially exposed to erosion, drought, and rising sea levels.
Using field recordings, hydrophones, contact microphones, para-acoustic transducers, and synthesized sound, Dry/Wet will take shape as an electroacoustic piece built through the friction between natural landscape, industrial memory, and expanded listening. Incorporating sonified scientific data as well, the project proposes a mode of listening attentive to what vibrates between document and invention, between the physical presence of water and its gradual disappearance.
Robin Servant
Robin Servant is a musician, improviser, and composer. His practice brings together traditional music from Québec, sound experimentation, and contemporary composition, and for years he has been developing a body of work centred on recording sonic environments, translated both into sound art pieces and musical works.
CONFLUENCE
Robin Servant’s residency is part of CONFLUENCE 2025–2027, an international artistic exchange programme between Catalunya and Québec focused on digital, visual, and sound arts. Following Lina Choi’s participation in 2025, Robin Servant takes over and will develop a research and creation residency between L’Estruch and Eufònic, working on Dry/Wet in dialogue with both territories.
