*this edition of /*framework:afield*/ has been produced by in montreal, 
canada by *nimalan yoganathan*.  for more information see

    *LILIRA: SOUNDSCAPES OF INUKJUAK*

    "Lilira" is the Inuttitut word used to describe a respectful and
    slightly nervous feeling towards nature.

    Nimalan Yoganathan is the first artist to be funded by Conseil des
    Arts et des Lettres du Quebec's recently established Nunavik Fund
    for the Arts and Literature program. As a result, he participated in
    an artist residency in Inukjuak, Nunavik during July and August
    2009. He was studying and recording the sonic environment to gain
    insight into the richness of Inuit culture. This included both
    natural sounds such as the wind and huskies, as well as cultural
    sounds including carvers at work, throat singing, and the intricate
    rhythms of the Inuttitut language. These field recordings serve as
    the compositional foundation for this radio art piece.

    Listeners are immersed within evolving cultural portraits of
    Inukjuak. Field recordings are sometimes complemented by electronic
    gestures in an attempt to convey the inherent musicality hidden
    throughout this vast Arctic landscape.  Man-made synthesized sounds
    harmonize with and mimic the timbral and rhythmic properties of
    Inukjuak's soundscapes, similar to how Inuit throat singing often
    employs the human body in imitating the songs of geese and mosquitoes.

    The social and spiritual significance of sounds and how aural cues
    are used in Inuit cultural practices such as hunting and fishing
    serve as narratives in this work. As part of his residency, Nimalan
    also led weekly sound art workshops for youths between age 13 and
    16, during which they were taught outdoor field recording
    techniques. Each youth was given their own digital recorder to
    document their sound walks around the community. Nimalan has
    included portions of their field recordings in this installation so
    as to juxtapose their sonic perceptions with those of his own.

    All material heard between 7:09 and 13:40 of this piece was recorded
    by the youths from the workshops.

    Special thanks to: Tommy, Tukai and Matt (workshop participants),
    Nunavimmi Pigiuravik School, Avataq Cultural Institute, and Makivik
    Corporation

    BIO
    Nimalan Yoganathan is a Montreal sound artist and musician. He
    completed his  studies in Electrical Engineering at McGill
    University in 2004 and recently graduated  from Concordia
    University’s Electroacoustic Music program. He currently focuses on
    the  integration of field recordings into his multimedia works from
    his travels through bustling cities, desolate landscapes, and
    spiritual sites. In a time when global communities are progressively
    being plagued by noise pollution, Nimalan  believes it is crucial
    to preserve and accentuate the subtle but musical sounds hidden all 
    around us. Nimalan is also involved with radio production,
    installation art, and sound design  for film, dance, and theatre. He
    has released experimental Dub and Hip-Hop albums on  labels
    including Le Son 666 and Panospria (No_Type). His works have been
    disseminated at numerous festivals and venues including
    MUTEK, Suoni per il Popolo, Pop Montreal, Art’s Birthday, OBORO, and
    Darling Foundry.
