Change Ringing is a sonic and performative intervention that reinterprets the historic practice of bell ringing through a contemporary, collaborative lens. By transforming this traditional, collaborative communication method into a form of participatory artistic expression, composer Annesley Black and supporting musicians Alyssa Aska and Martin Ritter explore themes of resistance, collectivity, and the rhythm of societal transformation. 

Developed through an exchange between local and international artists, this sound work strengthens transnational creative networks and fosters new forms of presentation that challenge conventional institutional formats. Change Ringing exemplifies the transformative power of experimental sonic practice and embodies a decentralised musical practice. Together, the artists reinterpret historical methods and sites, like the Mariahilferkirche in Graz, Austria, through contemporary technologies and social engagement, enabling a renewed creative use of sound in public spaces.
