For one deep Listening Pauline Oliveros, décédée le 25 novembre à l’age de 84 ans, fut incontestablement une très grande dame de la musique contemporaine, expérimentale, minimaliste et de ce que l’on nomme aujourd’hui les arts sonores. Son accordéon ne soufflera plus à nos oreilles ses longues mélopées, ses drones envoûtants, ses accords resserrés, cette […]

Event News – Mean Time

meantime_logo

MEAN TIME

Up until the 1st of October 1916 Ireland was on Dublin Mean Time, which was 25 minutes and 21 seconds behind Greenwich Mean Time. On that day, when England put its clock back by an hour for Winter, Ireland put its clock back by 35 minutes and ended the historic time difference between the two countries.

Mean Time is a collaborative art project inspired by this event and in particular by Countess Markievicz’s opposition to what she saw as one more act of colonial oppression: the imposition of a foreign time on what should have been a sovereign people. 

 

The project is bringing ten professional female sound artists from Ireland and abroad to the historical location of Richmond Barracks in Dublin city, where 77 women were remanded after their involvement in the 1916 Rising- including Countess Markievicz herself. 

 

They will perform a unique improvisation based on especially commissioned pieces on the theme of these lost 25 minutes and 21 seconds, for the anniversary of the abolition of Dublin Mean Time. 

The event will combine contemporary music, performance art, radio art and electroacoustic composition, ‘clawing back’ time lost and imagining many possible future Irelands. The programme will be broadcast live on Nova, RTÉ Lyric FM. 

The participating artists are Daria Baiocchi | Fiona Hallinan | La Cosa Preziosa | Vicky Langan | Úna Lee | Olivia Louvel | Jenn Kirby | Claudia Molitor | Gráinne Mulvey | Rachel Ní Chuinn

In addition, a series of free sound art workshops for all the family will also take place on the grounds of Richmond Barracks on Saturday 1st October. For more info: http://facebook.com/ meantime1916

Both performance and workshops are free but ticketed.  To book please email: meantime1916@gmail.com

Mean Time is made possible thanks to the support of Dublin City Council and The Arts Council.

News – ‘Reversal Of The Muse’ – femininity in creativity

Laura Zattra's avatarlaura zattra

downloadREVERSAL OF THE MUSE is a new blog curated by Laura Marling that explores femininity in creativity.

The first podcast presents an interview with Vanessa Parr, sound engineer at The Village Studios in LA for 10 years, close collaborator of Elton John, B.B. King, Coldplay and John Mayer amongst others, and now independent sound engineer.

I find very interesting Laura Marling’s chat with Vanessa Parr where Vanessa recalls how she broke into a male dominated field, where female engineers are few and far between (the actual interview begins at 2’27”).

https://soundcloud.com/reversalofthemuse/in-conversation-with-vanessa-parr

This new blog has been shared on FB by the great mastering engineer Mandy Parnell.

Here is another video where Vanessa Parr discusses how she broke into the recording engineering field. It is no surprise that she states “I went to a number of studios where they say: ‘We don’t hire girls! We hire girls to be client-service-girls’ “.
