"The programme is being produced with special thanks to Steve Brown
and Ewan Stefani who kindly allowed me to interview them about their
use of field recordings in their design and compositional works.
Being a designer and composer myself I was interested to see to what
extent both the theatre and the experimental music disciplines used
field recordings so I could compare this to my own work.
Cities of Sound is a sonic exploration of the field recordings I
have managed to collect over the past few years from different
places and countries I have visited. I was very interested in
bringing all the sounds together to produce an almost immersive
soundscape.
Something I am very interested in examining at the moment is the
relationship that field recordings can have in different places
within musical composition. I have some extracts to play of an
interview I conducted with Steve Brown who is a theatre sound
designer at the royal exchange theatre in Manchester, Steve is also
head of sound at the international organisation OISTAT. I am also
going to play an interview conducted with Ewan Stefani who is a
lecturer at Leeds University and an electroacoustic and acousmatic
composer.
One of the main aspects I set out to achieve by conducting
interviews between a theatre sound designer and electroacoustic
composer was to see whether there were any similarities in the way
that they used field recordings in their work
Ewan and Steve are both responding to questions I have asked them
throughout my interview with them and at the end are responding
directly to my question of where is sound design and electroacoustic
music going in the future and are there any similarities to their
respected fields to one another's.
Comparing the work produced by Ewan and Steve to my own work I can
see many similarities in the way of style and format. To me the
discipline of being an electroacoustic, acousmatic or experimental
composer doesn't differ or vary much to the work I carry out to a
sound designer. I use field recordings quite heavily in my work
whether design related or composition related. They have become more
and more frequent over the years and now feature quite dominantly in
my work.
I am very interested in organic field recordings and in the
association sound can have with space and location. My recent work
has developed into more site specific exhibition and installations.
Working as both a composer and sound designer I am very interested
in examining the connections between the two disciplines and how a
composer might see him or herself as a designer when using fields
recordings and sound in an experimental way and how a sound designer
might relate to themselves as a composer because of the way they are
structuring and composing a musical piece.
I have recently been involved in composing and producing a piece
titled Memories Unearthed which was an outdoor sound installation at
a country park in Salford, Manchester.
Memories Unearthed is an experimental soundscape which was produced
by using various field recordings that were taking from the park in
Salford and fused alongside various recordings I have produced and
reproduced that would have been associated with a colliery that was
once based in the area, namely the Wet Earth Colliery. The
installation was produced for an event titled Dirt and Dreams which
commemorated the work of those that worked in the mining industry.
The environmental field recordings specifically heard at the
beginning and end of the piece were produced with the help of local
children and families that came along to a workshop that was run in
the park and involved them participating in a soundwalk around the
area. Recordings were made and I tried to incorporate as many as
possible into the piece."
again, we are always looking for material for the show, whether raw
field recordings, field recording based composition, or introduction
submissions. we are also now accepting proposals for full editions of
our guest curated series. send proposals or material, released or not,
