On Whiteness and Sound Studies
Monday is becoming Feminatronics’ regular day to feature reblogs that get you thinking and as always Sounding Out provides some of the most thought provoking articles out there.
This is the first post in Sounding Out!’s 4th annual July forum on listening in observation of World Listening Day on July 18th, 2015. World Listening Day is a time to think about the impacts we have on our auditory environments and, in turn, their effects on us. For Sounding Out!

The colour of sound: green

A short sample of Green.

The second series of The Colour of Sound has commenced on Radio National’s Soundproof program. The first episode in the series is Green.
Green charts the story of the German scientist and philosopher David Gottlob Diez as he deliberates on the connection between sound, the planets, and colour. Diez connected green with Venus, its aurora shrouding the planet in a veil of celestial static.
Tune in to the rest of the ROY-G-BIV colour and sound spectrum over the next few weeks.
Studio guest: Liz Helman
Missed this but I have checked and you can still listen to the show on NTS and here is the link for FRACTAL MEAT ON A SPONGY BONE http://www.ntsradio.co.uk/shows/fractalmeat/
Studio guest on Friday 20th MArch will be Liz Helman: tune into NTS from 8am to 10am.
Liz Helman is a London-based artist and independent curator working across different media, including photography, video and sound. Manipulating her own recorded and found sound, she constructs atmospheric sound pieces, and in all her time-based media works, she explores the psychological and emotional attachment to place and dwelling. Journeying between recollection and reality, she challenges format driven orthodoxies, fragmenting and layering image and sound to consider the experience of dislocation and displacement.
