having made all the speaker boxes I installed some on the wall and others on the ground I managed to source two speakers with players and placed them inside boxes with the pipes inside the sound was really clear – the sound played with the pipes and distorted it – as you move around […]
– I have finished a group of boxes that can hold both the pipes and the speakers The black plastic I originally used looked far too tacky and too flimsy. I found a rubber matting that works really well at keeping the shape and will also operate as a good sound holder. I tried to […]
I was relatively happy with how this worked yet if it was to be installed in other places I would need to adjust the light and safety! Taking the moving image and allowing a domestic object show it perhaps allows the viewer to question memory of a well known scene and how they remember it […]
January 2018 – John Akomfrah – ‘Unfinished Conversations‘ – breathtaking and beautiful triptych film installation about Stuart Hall January 2018 – Susan Hiller – ‘Monument’ – Tate – very powerful, immersive huge monumental piece yet with the power to feel incredibly intimate when the viewer sits on the bench and listens with the single pair […]
have struggled with trying to find solutions for the pendulum of knobs. I know I want to keep the audio but need to work on the form I had trialled all sorts of ways to cluster the knobs together but the fishing wire looked tacky and they were tricky to take apart. I ordered some […]
this is a continuation from a previous post (salt & pepper experiments) I installed the wax teapots and experimented with sounds I had recorded and was playing through headphone speakers inside the pots the sound isn’t loud enough and after much testing I have now found some speakers that will fit inside the teapots if […]
After my meeting with Alyson and trialling installing bits indoors I needed to decide on exactly what I wanted record or write list of sounds I want detail what sounds for what pieces sounds in tubes, screaming, whispering, music, domestic sounds detail each installation and what I need – speakers, leads to go with each […]
working on the speaker boxes again – I have edged all the shapes and also created some with carpet offcuts – I like the idea of mixing up fractures of domesticity – I also think that the material will alter the sound I played with the speaker boxes in the space using tape as […]
I bought thin ply and set about building structures that could contain sound and the pipes I found an edging that is flexible which is an industrial material – it is quite thin yet pliable – am not sure if this is the right material to use yet looking at these objects I realised […]
I carried out various tests on which doorknob/material would have the best effect I am looking for. To film a projection which is being projected onto something doesn’t always give the same effect as being there in person! If I were to project from the front of the door then the wax with netting would […]
