Three new ways of listening to the Delta: Eufònic and Lo Pati 2026 creative residencies

Ainara LeGardon, Alba Tormo and Miguel Alejos are the artists selected in the Eufònic / Lo Pati 2026 creative residency call

The creative residency programme of Eufònic and Lo Pati continues to open space for projects that read the Delta de l’Ebre through artistic practice, listening and attention to the landscape. In this new edition, the selected artists are Ainara LeGardon, Alba Tormo and Miguel Alejos, with three proposals that depart from sound, light and image to activate other ways of looking at and listening to the territory. Three different approaches, yet connected by the same intention: to work from the place itself, to be affected by its rhythms and to turn them into material for creation.

Ainara LeGardon: listening to the landscape

Ainara LeGardon by Rafa Rodrigo

Ainara LeGardon’s project delves into the sonic landscape of the Delta de l’Ebre through field recordings, voice and direct observation of the territory’s acoustics. During the residency, the artist will work with the sounds and resonances of the spaces to construct a sound intervention conceived from the very place where it will unfold, turning the landscape into material for listening and action.

Alba Tormo: migrations turned into light

Alba Tormo starts from the nocturnal migration of birds crossing the Delta de l’Ebre to develop a light installation based on nocmig recordings —the flight calls of migrating birds. Using these recordings and in collaboration with ornithologist Oriol Soler Ferrer, the project will translate these invisible flows into patterns of light that make visible the activity crossing the territory at night.

Miguel Alejos: the Delta at the blue hour

With La hora azul (The Blue Hour), Miguel Alejos will focus his research on the twilight moment when the day has not yet begun and the night has not fully withdrawn. During the residency he will create a videographic archive of the Delta de l’Ebre in this interval of diffuse light, material that will later unfold as an audiovisual installation centred on the relationship between landscape, time and perception.

Three ways of activating the territory

The creative residencies of Eufònic and Lo Pati continue to support projects that work in direct contact with the Delta de l’Ebre, turning the territory into a space for research and artistic experimentation.

Three different processes that will eventually take shape at Eufònic 2026 and that, each in its own way, will bring forward new readings of a landscape that never stands still.
