Interesting how train-like the escalator sounds...

This is my contribution to Disquiet Junto Project 0517: Inside Out (Co/Exist 2 of 3). This week's assignment: record a minute or two of civilization (however you interptet "civilization").

This was recorded during a brief trip to Bilbao a couple of weeks ago.

Few things connote the idea of a place inhabited by humans better than the sounds of traffic and public transport. Public transport sounds tend to be very cyclic, rhythmical, but the beat of these mechanical escalators in Bilbao's metro peaked my curiosity. I was carrying luggage, but had just enough time to whip out my recorder and binaurals and go all the back up the escalators and down again. The sounds appeared to be a very apt welcome to a city known for its industrial heritage.

This is the second of a three-part project sequence. You can participate in all three parts, or any two of the three, or even just any one of them. Part one began on November 18 and ended on November 22, part two began on November 25, and part three will begin on December 2. Thanks to Alan Bland and Mark Lentczner for having proposed the project.

This is a brief stroll through Madrid's quarter of Lavapiés, one of
the noisiest, most-multicultural, and most heavily-gentrified areas of
the city. The soundwalk starts out at Plaza Lavapiés, and progresses
all the way to El Rastro, Madrid's traditional bustling flea
market. The soundwalk attempt to register the multiplicity of noises,
but mainly the voices, languages and manners of speech typical in this part of the city.

Acoustic Mirror Soundwalk in Madrid, Spain: Lavapiés to El Rastro

On May 27th and 28th, 1977, Maryanne Amacher presented "Listening at Boundary: Scenario for a Sound Saga" at The Kitchen. Though preceding the first formal iteration of Amacher's "Mini Sound Series" by 8 years, "Listening at Boundary: Scenario for a Sound Saga" marks a significant shift in Amacher's thinking toward the expanded notions of narrative that will accompany most of her later work. Amacher's 1977 introduction to the evenings is documented on a cassette tape made and signed by Rhys Chatham, then musical director of The Kitchen.

Thanks to Maryanne Amacher Archive and Robbie Lee.
