Acoustic map update: Bratislava
(from One A Day Photograph)
I have finally updated the acoustic map with recordings made during my visit to Slovakia last year. The following are a selection of these recordings, as I wanted to present some with a little bit of contextual information not supplied on the map. As you will see, most of the recordings are along, over, and in, the Danube river, as I spent the majority of my time recording here for this project. As ever, headphones are recommended.
Brussels, October 2011
At the end of October, I was invited back to Brussels by Bains Connective, an experimental arts laboratory who coordinate and support a fascinating array of artistic practices.
Bratislava, 3-15 September 2011
I spent almost half of September in Bratislava, Slovakia, working on 3 different projects. Firstly, I produced a sound installation as part of a group exhibition entitled ‘Wind and Time’ at ANSIL Gallery (details here). Secondly, I helped to run a week-long art radio project (details here), and thirdly I created an audio tour for the Slovak National Gallery (details here).
TIK Art Radio Days, Bratislava, 6-11 September 2011
Next week I am off to Bratislava to help run an experimental radio station (see the poster above for details, and visit here).
The radio stream can be heard here. If you use twitter, you can follow the project here.
During the week I will have a 15 minute sound piece installed at ASIL Gallery (details here).
After this, I will be spending a few days at the Slovak National Gallery to create sound interpretations of some paintings and photographs produced on the banks of the Danube River.
Chris Watson interview
Back in April myself and Michael Gallagher hosted natural history sound recordist Chris Watson for a couple of days here in Edinburgh. Below is a five minute documentary piece Michael and I produced, based on interviews and sound recordings made during a workshop with Chris along the North Berwick coast.
My friends over at the TimeInventorsKabinet have put out a call for participation in a radio art project. From the blurb:
COL-ME (Bratislava, Slovakia) invites radio makers, collectives and radio stations to take part in the making of a temporary radio station scheduled according to wind-time – our very own TIK Radio, to be transmitting over the TIK Radiodays from the 6th – 11th of September 2011.
