Poetica micromix

An audio soundscape recorded at Berry Hill Fields, Stoke-on-Trent during a dawn chorus community nature walk in September 2023. Featuring ambient sound, conversation and birdsong. Compiled and edited by artist Leanne Cunningham, produced by Urban Wilderness CIC and funded by Keele University as part of the 'Wilder Connections' project exploring local biodiversity.

Dawn Chorus by Leanne Cunningham

Meeting on a sound loom. A flute and a computer, amplified little things. Pile of shale, branches of coral, a few hidden recordings and electronic devices. No clear idea, just weaving the making and the listening.

'the self' was written for a live performance in autumn 2015 in Brussels at 'the other self' festival on gender, voice, language and identity. [title by Julia Eckhardt] Derived from the title these 2 songs 'the other' and 'the self' came into being. They are based on the same MPC programming with samples exchanged, while 'the self' holds AGF's voice, 'the other' is based on unidentified samples. The track 'wicked problems' was an accidental play. 'the other self' is a mash up of all 3 tracks to promote this joint. ENJOY

The artwork is a Rorschach 'Tintenklecks' by AGF and additonal design by Carsten Stabenow.

the other self

Is the gender of an artist significant in the creative process? Does being a female artist influence how a work is created and perceived? How significant is ‘the female gaze’ in contemporary art – work that is presented from a female perspective or reflecting female attitudes.

As part of our International Women’s Day 2016 celebrations, a panel of artists discussed what it means to create work from a female perspective in today’s contemporary art world.

In this podcast, Eva Rothschild RA, Vanessa Jackson RA and Josie Cockram discuss these issues and the extent to which being a female artist has influenced their work.

The event was chaired by Hilary Robinson, Professor of Visual Culture at Middlesex University and editor of 'Feminism-Art-Theory 1968-2014'.

TEN:TWO explores the interconnectedness of two cities - Liverpool and Preston - through a short film, installation, and publication that weaves together sound and still images. The work serves as both a documentation and an exploration of these urban environments, which I travelled daily. It captures the passing of time and reflects the ever-changing nature of the cityscape that surrounded my often-hectic routine. In contrast to this pace, I became increasingly drawn to moments of quiet spaces, where listening could become an intentional act of slowing down, a means to find refuge and reflect.
Listening is central to this project - not merely as hearing, but as an embodied, attentive, and reflective practice. Drawing inspiration from Pauline Oliveros’ notion of Deep Listening, TEN:TWO invites a heightened awareness of sonic environments. Oliveros described Deep Listening as “listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what one is doing.” This ethos resonates deeply within the work, where the act of listening becomes a method of sensing place, presence, and transformation.
The sound component is composed of site-specific field recordings - ambient textures, incidental rhythms, and the subtle acoustics of the cities - carefully edited into a cohesive soundscape. These recordings are not simply background but foregrounded as carriers of meaning, mood, and memory. In pairing sound with still images and slight movements, the work invites the audience to listen into the environment, to notice what might usually go unheard.
The juxtaposition of image and sound creates an atmosphere where time appears suspended yet constantly shifting. This stillness is not silence but a sonic pause, an invitation to become fully present. TEN:TWO becomes not only a portrait of place, but a meditation on perception, attention, and the transformative potential of listening within urban life.

In addition to this sound piece, I have a book available to buy, which consists on imagery within the specific place recorded.
