I just can’t stop listening to Nicola Jaar. Space Is Only Noise. It took me all the way (two and a bit times over) through 16k on Sunday and I am still not bored of the sounds.

I also went to see the Chelsea PGDip show and there was some excellent work there. One piece that really stood out was some work that involved mini microphones, an old metal filling cabinet and an MPD player…and a laptop. LIVE synthed sounds. I want to do it.

Sample: Running Through The Eye Of An Overhead Projector

This is a sample of a piece called ‘Running Through The Eye Of An Overhead Projector’. It is an experimental video made by filming with a Canon DSLR through an overhead projector lens. The audio is a mix of edited atmospheric sounds recorded while participants are running. The sound was edited and manipulated using Logic Pro and the composition depends entirely on the action of the runners.

The work explores the notion of being in and experiencing the environment. What we absorb, consciously or not. It references the aesthetic quality of memory and the association we have with sound, colour and light.
