The performance of this work occurred on a sunny afternoon, on a rug on the grass outside the Performance Centre at Falmouth uni. I used a 'suround sound' set up of 3 transistor radios, all tuned to my transmitting device which played the work in mp3, as can be heard on the Soundcloud link.
This performance situation was inspired by my interest in minifm- my first proposal for this project was to craft 5 transmitters and run a radio station for the performance centre, as a immersive environment .(see proposal ,1st blog post- but UK legalities got in the way of carrying this work out)- i was happy to use a very miniFM situation and play radio 'as it might be heard in the park'- it was most important to avoid a studio environment, and nice to involve the additional sounds of the campus into my final performance there.
Soundart Radio 102.5 FM are going to broadcast this work, on FM and on their Internet stream at http://www.soundartradio.org.uk later in June...
REGARDING DOCUMENTATION:
As i write this project up, i recognise the tendency to try to own it, can be likened to killing it- holding it down, it suffocates. That was never the idea, this work exists in the space between potential and commitment- its been a strange shared process- and to continue (possibly continue...) in that spirit, the voices heard on the work have been invited to edit this blog:
I am fortunate to trust them all-
i value what they have to say.
