Chameleon
(Audio composition recorded in Marrakesh, Morocco) -
Created
for: Fallt Invisible Cities Installation ( Belfast, Ireland )
|
|
Invisible
Cities is a sound based interative exhibit created and currated
by Fallt for the Queen's University, Belfast for Belfast Festival
at Queen's 2002. They describe the piece as "'Invisible
Cities' offers the opportunity to experience an intimate series
of portraits of the world's cities painted with sound".
I contributed a 5 min composition based on Marakech, Morocco.

Twenty
artists were invited to contribute a five minute audio work inspired
by and utilising the sounds of the cities they inhabit. Their contributions
range from quiet and contemplative to noisy and frenetic with styles
ranging from the pristine digital crackles of Washington DC based
artist Richard Chartier (Whitney Biennial, 12k, LINE) to the near-silence
of Tokyo based ultra-minimalist *0 (Nosei Sakata).

Chameleon
( Marrakech )-
This
is a series of recordings made in 1999 while exploring the streets
Marrakesh. A pair of binaural microphones were used to capture the
rapid change in sound as I walked from market stall to stall, through
traffic, and trough the fabled tourist trap - Djeema El Fna. The
title of the piece was inspired by the rapid audio changes that
resulted from just taking a few steps in any direction. There also
is a portion of the recordings that take place in a chameleon market.
