NOSTALGIA FOR THE HERE AND NOW by VIV CORRINGHAM
A 3D sound environment in binaural format: 
please use headphones/earbuds!

at Harvestworks Fluid art and tech exhibition, 10a Nolan Park, Governors Island, NY. August 27 - October 30 2022.
Installation combines field recordings, objects found in the streets, my own singing and people's responses to the questions "What sound would you most miss if it disappeared tomorrow?" and "What object do you most value?" As if someone from the future gathered together memories of our soundscape, along with our quotidian objects as a record of how we lived and what we cared about here and now. 3D sound environment created by Paul Geluso.

Nostalgia for the Here and Now (binaural version)

The Rembetika song "Smyrneiko Minore" sung into a monastery well at Syros Sound Meetings 2014.

Soundwalkscapes December (short excerpt)

My rule was to take a walk on the first Monday of every month in 2023, wherever I happened to be. In December I walked along the Central Park NY bridleway, through tunnels, singing as I went.

Soundwalkscapes: December (excerpt)

A London inhabitant took me on her special walk. I recorded her words, the sounds of the place, and my own improvised singing later along the same route as I remembered our walk.

Slack Tide

A walk in Mexico City with Amanda Gutierrez and her mother Carmen Vazques in which they speak of the fear of femicide in Mexico, where 9 women are killed every day. The piece is part of my longterm "Shadow-walks" series, in which I retrace the person's walk solo, singing my impressions and memory of their walk.

9 Women (excerpt)

Viv Corringham restyles her longterm project “Shadow-walks” to suit the pandemic. Instead of accompanying a person on their chosen walk she gathered recorded descriptions of walks and her singing reflects how she imagines them. This is Geert Vermeire in the Alps.
From her radio show "Walker Inside (singing the walks we can’t do in the pandemic)" Resonance FM radio, June 30th (repeated July 1). See http://resonancefm.com/  http://www.vivcorringham.org/shadow-walks/
