Takeaway is a project by Martin Hurych, which has been running since 2020 and uses various forms of listening to the urban environment, from secret eavesdropping to conducting workshops and listening walks. The listening platforms that were part of the project - a set of headphones, individual and collective listening practices - have the ability to activate listening and allow it to be processed in an urban environment in real time.
The festival will include an initial presentation of the Takeaway project and a sound walk with a small group of people. The participants will use the invented headphones serving as a mobile tool that activates the listeners' attention and changes their experience of the sound situation and atmosphere of a particular place. The headset, which allows listeners to manipulate and "play" with the live sound environment around them, blurs the boundaries between listening and composing, between performer and audience.
Martin Hurych is an artist and curator who lives and works in The Hague (NL). and Lubne (CZ). His work oscillates between the media of sound art and architecture, while it is primarily based on a reflection of the character of a particular place. The artist is known for a certain amount of exaggeration and warm humor, but at the same time he is sensitive to social problems, which he draws critical attention to with his works.
Hurych studied architecture at ARC FAST BUT in the Czech Republic, completed his bachelor's studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts BUT master's degree at the Institute of Sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. He worked as an assistant in Atelier Intermédiá I at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and as an assistant to sculptor Jiří Příhoda. He currently works as an associate researcher at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague.

The Takeaway is an ongoing project that has been running since 2020 and takes different forms of listening to urban surroundings, from clandestine eavesdropping to conducting workshops and listening walks. Listening platforms that have been created within the project—a headset, individual and collective listening practices—have the ability to activate listening and enable real-time processing of listening in an urban environment.
As a part of the NEXT festival, there will be an introductory presentation of the Takeaway project and a soundwalk with a small group of people. The participants will be using the invented headset serving as a mobile tool that activates listeners' attention, and alters their experience of the site-specific auditory situation and atmosphere. The headset which allows the listener to manipulate and "play" with the live sound environment around them, blurring the boundaries between listening and composing, between performer and audience.
