## The Metalization of a Dream by Duncan MacLeod (2019-2022) feat. Galvanize Ensemble. The Metalization of a Dream is an open form soundwalk responding to the dada and surrealist-inspired collages of Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005). A pioneer of pop art, Paolozzi’s practice drew inspiration from artists that utilise similar collage and cut-up techniques such as Charles Ives and William S. Burroughs. As such, these relationships are explored within this work through John Cage’s concept of the coexistence of dissimilars, where the notion of harmoniously blended elements is eschewed in favour of collage-like juxtapositions ‘that fuse in the ear of the listener’. Like Paolozzi’s collages, this work incorporates ‘found objects’ in this case John Taverner’s In Nomine and the writings of Gertrude Stein that are reimagined, juxtaposed and intertwined with composed and indeterminate materials alongside soundscape recordings to form an equivocal sound world. Commissioned by Galvanize Ensemble with funding from the Arts Council of England, PRS Foundation, RVW Trust, and support from Britten Pears Arts (Creative Retreats). ------ #### Biographies [__Duncan MacLeod__](http://www.duncanmacleod.org) is a composer whose practice utilises both acoustic and electronic forces.

Our homes, and where we come from, shape the way we view the world: the things that comfort us, the things that make us feel out of shape. In a year where we have spent more time than we could have ever anticipated in our households - 5 young artist reflect on what home means to them.

*We recommend downloading the Walk before starting your exploration* *If audio does not play automatically (or you want to listen off-site) you can manually control the soundscapes by clicking on an Echo region, then 'See More', then pressing play* **Dis/Locating Cultures of Equality** is an interactive exhibition taking place on College Green, Goldsmiths University campus, September 20 - October 22 2021. It is free, 'covid-secure' and open to the public. The exhibition explores how creative practices can help create and sustain cultures of gender equality around the world – while also addressing how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted local communities. Held to mark the close of the four-year Global Genders and Cultures of Equality (GlobalGRACE) project.

This guided walk from Brockley Station towards Stansted Road in Honor Oak aims to let us listen to what is already happening in the area and imagine how it could sound in the future. The area covers the Brockley Corridor where major improvement works by Lewisham Council are being planned and currently consulted on to alleviate issues around air pollution, traffic and safety. Soundwalk practice exists in many forms, but on this walk we will move in silence for part of the journey and then stop to share reflections. Both the ambient noise and these personal reflections has been recorded.

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." Read more about the Isle of dogs: https://islandhistory.wordpress.com/2019/08/31/the-isle-of-dogs-in-the-seventies-sound-on/ I hope people will enjoy reflecting on the relationship between urban landscape and human beings listening to the voice of ten very unique artists for the first time on the Isle of Dogs together.

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.
