Whatever Gets You Through The Night


So I had the pleasure of working at Whatever Gets You Through The Night Film Screening at The Arches on Friday night. It's a huge collaborative project with loads of amazing musicians, writers and performers who can be explored here.

 While the whole night was brilliant, due to my secret love for beatboxers and loop pedals the highlight for me was seeing Wounded Knee and Bigg Taj in action.





Because I'm a nerd and love lots that Drew does, this is a recording of him at Hamilton Mausoleum, which I have probably already posted. Jess and I will be doing a project in Hamilton soon too. 






So I had some work in here recently...

Soundscaping

“Move your audible reality…”


Soundscaping is a project created by Justyna Ataman, Amy Pickles and Krysia Kordecki.

Funded by Artstore, our aim is to create a physical aspect to sound. The audience/participant is in control of eight ‘sound structures’ – each containing part of an eight-track composition and each structure on wheels. The audience/participant are encouraged to respond to the sounds in a more 3 dimensional way – by moving the structures through the space in order to create their own layers within our given soundscapes. You decide how you wish to engage with the work, and with one another. This project has the potential to open up our experiences of sound, and our experiences of interacting with others.

Through this collaboration we hope to build a strong network for communication amongst people from many different backgrounds whilst providing an opportunity for learning and exploration into the curious media of sound, sculpture and space.

Preview: Fri 25th January; 7pm-10pm
Festival runs: Sat 26th January – Fri 1st Feb; 11am-6pm

On Preview night and Smorgasbord day, a sample of all artists’ soundscapes will be showcased. The days in between have been curated to feature 3/4 artists per day. This time allocation will be a great way to let the sounds breathe and transport you deep into their unique sonic worlds.

On Preview night there will be celebration drinks; and for Smorgasbord day, we are offering hot snacks and hot toddies [or something along these lines] to round off this exciting project.

Soundscaping was juried by John Nicol, Ralph MacKenzie and Deniz Uster, and organised by Darren Tesar and Andrew Kuzmak of Artstore.
Please support future student projects by picking up your art supplies from Artstore – without their support Soundscaping might still just be an idea in a sketchbook…


Hamilton Mausoleum Echo




“I’ll stand at one end of the alcove and if ‘young’ Peter there could stand at the other and someone could stand in the middle please,” said 89-year-old Peter Condie.  “Now ‘young’ Peter at the other end – face into the corner and whisper to me please and I’ll do the same here and whisper back.”You’ll never believe it but from this distance we can hold a whispered conversation with each other and pick up every word without the person in between us hearing any of the conversation. The voice carries up the walls and over the archway to the other side without a sound being heard in between. This acoustic effect is why it was nicknamed the Whispering Walls or ‘Whispering Wa’s’ as it is affectionately called in Lanarkshire."
