Active in research and artistic, sound and musical creation, Konnekt promotes the emulation and development of sound arts as well as the bringing together of multiple cultural players.
Konnekt Association is a wonderfully engaged and supportive organisation to work with. Through them I was able to enjoy much needed restorative time and given the space and time to re-evaluate, renew and reconnect with my artistic work and also to share ideas and to be inspired by others. Konnekt provides an invaluable resource for musicians at any stage of their careers.

freddie Murphy & Chiara Lee - MEG
In partnership with MEG, Konnekt is pleased to welcome Turin-based sound artists and independent curators Chiara Lee and Freddie Murphy for a residency. Their work explores how sound affects our perceptions, memories and emotions, linking listening and memory.
During their residency, the artists conducted research on voices, rhythms and textures from recordings of all origins, with a particular focus on vocal expressions of mourning and lamentation.
This work will be presented to the public on Sunday 23rd November at 5.30 pm in the MEG foyer.
Under the name Father Murphy, the duo has performed on the most renowned international stages, notably at the Venice Biennale, the Dark Mofo Festival (Australia) and the Le Guess Who? Festival (Netherlands). Their compositions have accompanied films presented at festivals such as Locarno, Karlovy Vary and MoMA – New Directors/New Films (United States) .
As curators, they have collaborated with institutions such as the MADRE Museum (Naples) and the Fondazione Merz (Turin), and since 2022 they have been designing the music and performance programme for the Museum of Asian Art (MAO) in Turin.
Their recent sound installations have been presented at the GAM – Galleria d'Arte Moderna (Turin), the NOASS Centre (Riga) and the Kentway Museum (United Kingdom).
