Cut & Splice: Living Rooms
Recently we both had the pleasure of meeting with sound artist Felicty Ford, and was involved in a discussion that she organised for the podcast Cut and Splice program series: Living Rooms.
We met with Felicity and other sound artists to discuss domestic soundscapes, sonic wallpaper and many views on how we understand and relate to sound within our own sonic environment and the sonic environment around us.
Also included in this program are discussions and reworkings of Alvin Luciers renowned work ‘I Am Sitting In A Room’, including versions in hallways, various sized rooms and synthesized versions. Also included is a brief interview with sound artist Janek Schaefer, where he discusses his notable work ‘Special Delivery’, where he posted a portable recorder recording snippets of its journey, capturing various bumps, scrapes and the postal workers themselves in discussion about their activities the night before.
The podcast entitled Rooms and Chambers, and others in this series can be heard at the Sound and Music website.
