Call for Collaboration — Sonitus Project: Post-Orientalism Anthology

Call for Collaboration — Sonitus Project: Post-Orientalism Anthology In 2025, the Post-Orientalism label released eight volumes of the Sonitus anthology, comprising 105 individual works, sequentially numbered Sonitus No. 1 through Sonitus No. 105. The Sonitus project adopts a research-driven approach, treating Sonitus not as a fixed audio object but as an ontological event. The focus is on sound as a site of disclosure rather than on formal or stylistic coherence. Volume 9 is scheduled for release in January 2026. The 2026 roadmap commits to the release of one volume per month. Participating Artists (2025) Andrew Cheffings, Bruce Hamilton, Chem XP, Dave Seidel, Deniz Tafaghodi, Ehsan Saboohi, Emad KhankeshiPour, Hubert Heathertoes, Itaru Ouwan, Lena Koucheri, Mohammad Amin Akbarpour, Mohammad Reza Hashemi, RDKPL, Sina Noorizadeh, Soheil Shirangi.

Treating sound solely as an object limits the possibility of engaging with its evental dimension. Within this framework, listening is an active practice that shapes both the work and the subject who encounters it. The project avoids prescriptive aesthetics, embraces multiplicity and inconsistency, and prioritizes the Sonitus event itself over formal composition or genre-based classification. Invitation We invite composers, sound artists, researchers, and experimental producers interested in this approach to participate in the Sonitus project in 2026.
