I was much taken by your Sound Space and being asked to put it on pause (to go get headphones). In the context of Louise's project on studio practice, this very un-geographic recording-as-studio is particularly interesting. I wonder if the introduction to the studio might be considered a work in itself?
ReplyDeleteI am looking on your blog now...far, far, far away...
Hi Sam
ReplyDeleteThanks for responding to my sound space. Yes, I consider the recording a work in itself, and of a similar territory to the Carr Radio shows.
My role of host and the prominent use of my voice are very important devices I deploy in these ‘constructions’ that fill the listening space in the form of sound and description to convey a sense of my working environment, whether real or invented. This recording is very different to the radio shows as I am describing my real working environment, as opposed to the invented space of the Fifth Runway pub; where I work on the broadcasts in a room I rent on the 1st floor.
My request to use headphones is a way of preventing the sound or music being experienced through laptop speakers, where I feel a lot of detail can be missed.
Yes I agree the studio description does work as a piece in itself. I like the hypnotic tone of your voice as you describe the studio and I can pick up the slight touch of parody or a kind of self consciousness that gives it an intimate feel. It works really well in the context of the blog in general, as there are always certain difficulties with the authenticity of experiencing work without actually being there.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the tracks you played and the variation of content between the two of them. I like the 'structured state' of slim-line tonic- (a very apt and interesting name..I thought). It seemed to be a pleasant mix of the highly structural minimalist music with a gentle folky-ness...I'm not the best at music descriptons!
Do you imagine the publicity art-work- posters/cd cases/flyers are able to exist as works in themselves and do you ever feel tempted to concentrate on making a purely visual piece?
