Voice of Trees (Belgrave Square, London)

Please join me on a unique musical experience as I guide you around London United Kingdom. On this journey I will guide you through the musical compositions, ideas, and influences that went into my new album.

Details: https://www.recordedfields.net/installations/london-open-form-pavilion-of-air/ The London Open Form Pavilion of Air audiowork is a floating roof of sound, triggered by GPS and accessed via a smartphone, headphones and the echoes.xyz app. One of 15 locations in 9 countries in the Open Form Pavilion of Air series, inspired by Polish architects Oskar & Zofia Hansen’s “Open Form” architectural concept, they use sound and site-mapping to offer a playful renewal and reframing of public space as an essential place of engagement for the community. The Pavilion's area takes the form of a 160 x 160 metre arrow pointing west to Ireland & the sunset. Invisibly occupying part of the Gardens, itself once a King’s playground, the work's concept echoes & reframes the fading colonial notion of a "... vast [British] empire on which the sun never sets" (the words of British colonial administrator Earl George Macartney in his "An Account of Ireland in 1773 by a Late Chief Secretary of that Kingdom"). By walking through different zones in the specific area by the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens while using your mobile phone, the Echoes app and headphones, you become a participatory listener producing a composition in real-time. Your navigation creates a unique choreography via GPS, combining and changing sounds mapped in the Gardens through the app. Hear the park and its context become transformed by the many sounds forming this floating acoustic architecture, revealing an immersive, profoundly spatial and physical experience. The Pavilion has no visible presence outside the app and can only be accessed and enjoyed on-site in Kensington Gardens adjacent to the Serpentine Gallery (on the opposite side to the Serpentine Pavilion).

A sound walk in Hyde Park listening to the voice of trees. Ten voices in one of the greenest areas in the heart of London to celebrate trees.

London is full of different street singers we usually meet them 'by chance': we pass by, we are attracted, we stop and enjoy, then we leave. But what would it be like if we could record all these different wonderful songs through an audio map? At the same time it's a sustainable audio map, whenever I come across new songs on the streets of London I can record them and upload them to the audio map. As time goes on the map will become richer and richer and when the coverage reaches a certain point, no matter where you go in London, when you open this audio map you will hear someone who has sung here before.

This city is full of stories, many unseen and unheard. The windows and the bricks of buildings older than any of us: What have they seen? Who are the strangers that find themselves sitting next to each other on a bench? Where have they been and where are they going? Who are the creatures that we share the city with? What might the fox or the pigeon tell us if we took the time to listen? This SoundWalk brings to life the imagined stories of the buildings and pathways that surround us. A City Full of Stories asks us to slow down, look around and listen… Marking 25 years of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields’ work with people experiencing homelessness, this SoundWalk has been especially created alongside participants for Marriner100 – the orchestra’s celebration of the centenary of its founder, Sir Neville Marriner.
