Johann Sander Puustusmaa’s work meanders at the intersection of anthropology, spatial and sensory experience, and the role of storytelling in urban environments.
For a few years, Johann Sander hosted a radio show on anthropology, slowness and field recording on Radio IDA in Tallinn, Estonia.
Sound braid (Luisa Isidro Herrera, Nicole Marchesseau, Johann Sander Puustusmaa, Pablo D. Herrera Veitia) is an exploration of collaborative listening and sonic conversations, a convergence of events that hop on and off the web platform with the hopes of sparking discussion, remixing, and moving through and with bodies in various ways. Sound braid is a non-institutionally sanctioned space and side-project meant for collaboration, inhabitation, and disruption. A mutable platform subject to change and revision, the sound braid website invites sounds that move, simmer, or ignite discussions. It aims to engage with experimental forms and to create rather than reproduce, to shape ecologies rather than libraries. This site may include or prompt non-performed or unexceptional sounds, dedramatized silences, quotidian dins, or failures.
