sound carries over water at night

Museum of Sounds is a tribute to sound artists and their work. on Ubuweb I came across Urban Reference: the work of ten artists who focus on the relationship between the individual and the urban environment I created a sound installation in the Isle of dogs inspired by its history. "The Isle of Dogs made national and international news in 1970, thanks to its Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI). In protest at the lack of facilities on the Island, a group of residents got together and declared the Island to be independent of the UK, an action which included blocking the Blue Bridge and blocking Westferry Road near the Blacksmith’s Arms in the west of the Island."

Kerry Trenove "Enclosures" (5:00) Helen Chadwick "Model Institution: an Architectural Sound Sculpture" (5:33) John Carson "American Medley" (8:13) Vito Acconci "Now Do You Believe The Dirty Dogs Are Dead" (1:10) Stuart Brisley "There Will Be No Disasters (Georgiana Collection V)" (5:00) Les Levine "Lose" (5:00) F. Uwe Laysiepen / Marina Abramovic "Bioguarde" (4:43), 1982 Roberta M. Graham (The Bob Graham Four) "Hit and Myth" (4:55), 1982 Steve Willats "The New Reality" (8:00), 1982 Elsa Stansield / Madelon Hooykaas "Void" (10:00) From http://www.ubu.com/sound/live_to_air.html Notes "Live to Air comprises an international compilation of artists' sound works. Forty-five artists were invited to make a work for the context of Audio Arts with an approximate duration of five minutes. The medium of magnetic tape, and the processes and technologies associated with sound recording, now represent a significant and growing area of art practice that has, until now, been largely overlooked. This work has no form other than playback from tape, as opposed to the recording function being used 'passively' as a method of retaining an acoustic event, or acting as a strategy for other work. Furthermore, the processes of working with sound provide artists with similar manipulative, structural and ideological freedoms and possibilities to those normally associated with the traditional media such as painting, sculpture and collage. In many respects, this audial/technological 'space' is parallel to the physical space of a gallery, yet extends it through the potential of widespread dissemination inherent in the multiple production of cassettes and through broadcasting.

108 in Cape Town: Hangberg > Hout Bay Harbour > Sea Point > Adderley Under the apartheid system, the Group Areas Act designated Hangberg as a “coloured” residential area. Poverty and unemployment in Hangberg are high, and it has been the site of a number of political protests. Hout Bay & Sea Point contain multi-million rand mansions, luxurious holiday homes and some small wine estates. Supported by funding from Goldsmiths, University of London Department of Media, Communications and Cultural Studies’ 40th Anniversary Community Fund.
