Antonin De Bemels - Le début de quoi (Glabre Cover)

Fin de soirée. Temps calme. Le blongios nain entame son chant. Sur l'autre rive, un autre mâle chante également. La rousserolle effarvatte nous fait profiter de son talent d'imitatrice, avec ici un début de chant inspiré de celui de l'hypolaïs polyglotte. Juin 2023

Audio Archaeology Series Volume 3: Brest

Sheet Erosion is the third episode in a series of works based around ideas of audio archaeology and found sounds. The setting this time is the city of Brest in France.

The piece is comprised of field recordings made in early 2020 during the storms Ciara and Desmond plus a batch of found open-reel tape recordings dating from the 70s and 80s. The tapes include domestic home recordings but mostly document the recordist, Michel’s tastes in music and radio programmes of the time. Daily life bleeds into these lo-fi recordings of radio and TV shows. Captured with a mic in front of a speaker rather than directly cabled, ambiguous activities can be heard in the background; babies crying, feedback, chairs scraping and muffled conversations.

In the composition family histories and musical tastes are transposed over a more contemporary soundscape of Brest. Over-saturated tape distorts time as well as sounds. Speeds change. Chronologies become confused. Different instances in time are blended and fused. What seeps through these chronological crevices are events and incidents unmoored from linear time taking place in a chimerical non-space.

Empire Of Dampness

Sunrise at an Irish raised bog and bog woodland mosaic in Co. Offaly. 

Raised bogs in Ireland, and other countries alike, have been drained and terribly over-exploited for fuel and horticultural products, particularly in the previous and current centuries. As a result, this extremely slow-forming habitat is now *much* rarer than what it once was, at least in an ecologically healthy state. 

Commercial mining of peat is coming to an end, but these precious spaces now face a new threat in the form of large-scale wind farms with accompanied draining and development. Of course we cannot continue to rely on fossil fuels, and renewable energy development is a must. But this needs to be approached with care, and turbines need to be placed in areas with the least impact to both humans and other creatures with which we share the planet. 

Some sites have undergone the first steps towards rehabilitation and rewetting - let's hope that this happens on a much needed larger scale across the country. We can't keep taking from nature - it will eventually break as is very much evident in Ireland. It's long since time stopped taking and gave back!
