Actions and Sound
Courtesy of Hayley Wanless for this post that contains appraisals of soundart from Laurie Anderson and Janet Cardiff.
Whilst visiting the ‘Listening’ exhibition at the Sheffield Institute of Arts Gallery and the Site Gallery I thought about how our actions interact and alter sound. The space is curated by Sam Belinfante and the exhibition shows us that listening is not solely through the ears but is also through the functions within our brain.
My favourite piece was Laurie Anderson’s ‘The Handphone Table’ (1978). Anderson’s work causes you to interact with the piece with your whole body. I sat down at the table and placed my elbows on the table top with my hands covering my ears and could feel the sound vibrate through my body. The sound cannot be heard until you touch the piece with your body. At one end of the table the sound was vocal tones and the other end was musical tones. This work was extremely interesting and made me think of how our interactions with…

Ora 21 : Rest
I am listening to this now and very interesting thoughts here…
Ora 21: Rest
Daniela Cascella and Salomé Voegelin, with James Wilkes
28 May 2015
8pm
Resonance 104.4FM
For this episode of Ora, Daniela Cascella and Salomé Voegelin invite poet and researcher James Wilkes for an hour of conversations, readings, moments of listening and looking, around the elusive notion of rest. A category only grasped through difference and through context, rest is discussed and thematised by Cascella, Voegelin and Wilkes by considering rest as interval, rest as social code and habit, rest as pause in reading and writing, and rest as critical device.
SUNDAY MIX – THE MOON
The moon was but a chin of gold
A night or two ago,
And now she turns her perfect face
Upon the world below.
Her forehead is of amplest blond;
Her cheek like beryl stone;
Her eye unto the summer dew
The likest I have known.
Her lips of amber never part;
But what must be the smile
Upon her friend she could bestow
Were such her silver will!
And what a privilege to be
But the remotest star!
For certainly her way might pass
Beside your twinkling door.
Her bonnet is the firmament,
The universe her shoe,
The stars the trinkets at her belt,
Her dimities of blue.
The stars that round the Queen of Night
Like maids attend her
Hide as in veils of mist their light
When she, in full-orbed glory bright.
O’er all the earth shines from her height,
A silver splendour.
A tiny moon as white and small as a single jasmine flower
Leans all alone above my window, on night’s wintry bower,
Liquid as lime-tree blossom, soft as brilliant water or rain
She shines, the one white love of my youth, which all sin cannot stain.
A White Blossom
The stars around the fair moon fade
Against the night,
When gazing full she fills the glade
And spreads the seas with silvery light.
Against the night,
When gazing full she fills the glade
And spreads the seas with silvery light.

The University of Greenwich hosted a two-day colloquium to explore noise as a concept that embraces the expressive, the idea of noise as a resistance and, through mutating repetition, a catalyst for creative production. Other speakers and performers included David Toop, Nicolas Collins (Art Institute of Chicago), Atau Tanaka (Goldsmiths University), Andrew Hill, Stephen Kennedy, Ian Thompson (University of Greenwich) Melanie Clifford, Sarah Sparkes, Rie Nakajima and Dirty Electronics.
