Conjunction Multi Speaker

In presenting these pieces, Ed McKeon and Chris A. Wright explore the intersections of time, space and body through humming, an unworded vocalisation that can be seen as a direct response to the moment in time, the spatial surroundings, their emotional affect and the people around them. This takes place in the foyer of the Birmingham School of Art.

Tacet Ed Mckeon
Participants shift their listening focus towards the spatial acoustic, attending to the sound reflections of the space and begin to hum, as though sending them an unworded prayer telepathically. 

Tenuto Chris A. Wright
Tenuto is a staged performance opening up the resonances of the  space. The participants  place an intention to hold the sound within and without with relation to the audience who are enclosed by the sound and who then add their voice.

Auditour Series

Cafe Culture 

Auditour is a maquette that explores and tries to make sense of sound that references borders, territories and global identity.  This series uses sound research undertaken in four cities, Leicester, Saskatoon, Athens and Cagliari. Recordings were taken in seven different everyday sites that had similarities in each city. The sites were market, cafe, transport hub, public transport, church, high street and shopping centre. The first of the series shown here explores cafe culture. Each of the four recordings are played both separately and together in different combinations to explore how language is perceived by non-speakers of that language and by its native speakers. It looks at similarities and differences within the site itself through language and culture and through the listening experience shown here.

Further series will explore the other locations to draw conclusions on how sound, language and culture articulate space, how space influences the sound and how this impacts on how we think about global identities through this use of the commonplace.
