The first iteration of Sounds Like a Book: Nomad took place in Linz, Austria, in the high-spirited company of Lukas Jakob Löcker and Andreea Vlăduț. Together, they ventured into an improvisational session, weaving compositions from selected artists, featured in the past three editions of Sounds Like a Book, into a unique broadcast for the tape that radio show on @radiofro. With loops, scratches, and unexpected sonic textures, SLB: Nomad Linz foregrounded alternative ways of listening and engaging with the audio works created during Sounds Like a Book: Bandwidth, Sounds Like a Book: BUZZZZ, and Sounds Like a Book: Threads.

With sound pieces by Alina Ion, Brîndușa Tudor, Carlos Bernal Barrera, Csilla Bartus, Florine Mougel, Guillaume Bihan, Matei Monoranu, Matei Udriște, Miruna Radovici, Roxana Morar, Simona Dimache, Vitaly Yankovy.

After the ethereal debut edition, the second iteration took a more grounded and intimate form, conceived and implemented by the artists Alex M. Budeș and Lisa Marie Schmitt at their collective studio in Berlin, Germany. This time, the selection expanded to include works from four editions of Sounds Like a Book, along with stories and insights from the editions in which Alex and Lisa participated.

The last iteration of SLB: Nomad took place in Serbia and was coordinated by the artist and curator Mia Ćuk and Andrej Dolinka, a professor at the University of Applied Arts. Each student selected a book and ventured toward the city’s periphery, engaging with the artistic projects through performative means. As they interacted with the publications, new narratives and perceptual experiences emerged. The Situationist spirit was ever-present, particularly in its emphasis on aimless city walks and the exploration of spaces, alongside the emotions they evoke. 

Artist’s books by Vlad Brãteanu, Gabriela Cozma, Maria Nãstase, Csilla Bartus, Simona Dimache, Lera Kelemen, Caitlin Hespe, Florine Mougel, Brîndușa Tudor, Agnieszka Zdziabek, Cristina Pîrvu, Matei Udriște, Carlos Bernal Barrera, Florin Enache, Alexandru Mihai Budeș, Nadine Weber, Miruna Radovici, Roxana Morar, Lucian Barbu
