Noisy Wor(l)ds is a hands-on electronic music workshop in collaboration with The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, addressed to local and international artists based in Athens and London. Having completed the first phase of the workshop in the Guildhall School in May 2026, artists-facilitators Jo Wills (UK), Guy Wood (NL) and evi nakou (GR) are moving into the second iteration and they make together with local and international artists noise music works to be shared with the audience of Noisy Words Festival.
The workshop is a noise-lab, a space for sonic collaboration, bringing together artists from London with local practitioners from Athens to work across a diversity of formats—score-making, collective listening, live performance, and installation. It is an invitation to an encounter with noise, a workshop that delves directly into the politics of noise—examining how sonic disruption operates not merely as an acoustic phenomenon, but as an expression of resistance, memory, and multiplicity. Participating artists, either with a music, sound or text-based practice, are invited to explore how the abrasive, the glitched, and the dissonant can function as tools for interrogating dominant narratives, unravelling linguistic and musical norms, and carving out counter public spaces of collective expression. Through collective experimentation with scores, field recordings, and hybrid electronic-acoustic performance, the workshop explores ways of listening and making noise as a disturbance and a vibrant political language—one that speaks through the fragmented, the unspoken, and the hidden, creating a polyphonic echo against control and coherence.
