In the Field, location based sonic art projects

This discussion will focus on location-based sonic art and site-specific, community orientated projects. Using radio and other public means of aural distribution, these projects involve and depend on community members in the process of creation. The discussion will be moderated by Tom Wallace. Tom is a sound artists, DJ and ResonanceFM presenter.

Panelists inlcude Zoë Walker and Neil Bromwich who have worked together since 1999. Their projects include, My Island Home for the Victoria and Albert Museum, Fusion, a commission in collaboration with the plastic surgery unit, St Johns Hospital Livingstone and The Fruit Market Gallery Edinburgh. Duncan Speakmans Dirty Weather, Aural State and Sound from Above the Ground are all works for mobile listeners and interrogate the links between sound, memory and place. These projects are re-presented as an audio tour of the warehouse that questions the validity of site specific sound work outside of its original context. Keep most recently collaborated in organising Radio Taxi in Cambridge, a week long FM broadcast and with the help of pupils from a local school he documented the soundscape of the local area.
