Gilles Aubry – L’Amplification des Âmes (2012)

L’Amplification des Âmes (The Amplification of Souls) is an audio essay on the amplified religious soundscape of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). In 2011, Aubry recorded the sound of christian neo-pentecostal church ceremonies in Kinshasa. The use of powerful sound amplification systems is an essential element that contributes to the creation of new ‘urban religious identities’, while simultaneously sustaining some traditional elements. Made for the Global Prayers research project (globalprayers.info) in collaboration with sociologist Gerda Heck, Arnold Maluamyangila and journalist Massy Nguvu, the work also documents an evangelization campaign by the Libambu Ministry Church and uses audio excerpts from the church’s own video-archive.
The piece will be published later in 2014 on adocs.de
