Rehearsal for Phnom Penh

The original version of the work that formed the basis of the sound part of the Signal installation of the Hawkers Song as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival. It was constructed from field recordings of street hawkers taken in Phnom Penh and Battamabang, Cambodia, and recordings I made of an ice cream sellers bell, a small gong, a cows rattle, and my homemade two string electric cello.

Signal Base

An excerpt of the soundtrack to an installation at the Advance Laundrette in Springvale, Melbourne as part of the Hawkers Song, an artwork created for the Melbourne International Arts Festival 2010. This piece accompanied standard 8 film footage shot in Phnom Penh of street hawkers and features Srey Bandol translating explanations and memories of interviews with street hawkers and field recordings of hawkers from Pnom Penh. It also uses recordings made with the Springvale Cambodian Association of calls recalled by by members of the Springvale Cambodian Community. The background was created from a field recording of a small band I made at Ta Proum (one of the Angkor Wat temples) timestretched and manipulated to build an ambient bed culminating in an almost realtime playback of the recording.
