Sonic Boat Journey - "Stones- For Pyhäjoki" by Ryoko Akama (JP)
www.ryokoakama.com/

Hai Art in the frame of Case Pyhäjoki invited the artist to share her experience as a Fukushima victim in the context of Pyhäjoki nuclear power plant plans.

Ryoko Akama wrote a musical score for the sonic journey from Hailuoto to Pyhäjoki. She collected 8 stones, 2 from Fukushima, 2 from Marumori, 2 from Hailuoto and 2 from Pyhäjoki. The Sonic Boat Journey turned radiation data via a handmade geiger counter and geographical score of the Fukushima disaster into a score was performed by AGF and Ryoko on the Bothnian Bay/ Finland.

The piece was recorded on site @Hanhikivi Cape where the nuclear power plant is planned.

We support Pro-Hanhikivi in their resistance against the project, especially after investigating all angles around the Fennovoima plans.

Sanna Ilmola-Ranta (Hailuoto), farmer, mother and artisan who plays violin time to time proposed this project to Hai Art. She felt she would like to play the strings of the Sound Room with her bow. We took some time one afternoon and recorded that experiment.

This is a first edit of the material, we are intending to work more with it, possible make a video too. And compose a complexer piece out of it.

This recording is only sparsely edited.

Bow on Sound Room Strings

You: "What is this?"

Me: "The Last Outpost is a podcast where I chat with people much more interesting than myself."

You: "But what's the theme of this podcast?"

Me: "Well, I think I'm simply taking my mind for a walk (and I sometimes get wonderfully lost)."

You: "Are you, like, an expert."

Me: "What! You're joking aren't you!"

You: "OK, tell me a bit about yourself." 

Me: "Well,  I'm a writer, curator, lecturer, wanderer. Since 2000, I have written books on designers, photographers and filmmakers. I've also curated exhibitions. Does that sound too much like a sales pitch?"

You: "Yes, a little bit. Are you insecure?" 

Me: "I don't think I am? Do you think I am?" 

You: "Where do you live?"

Me: "What!? Are you some kind of podcast stalker? OK, I live with my wife, four children, cat, dog, and two fish, in rural Norfolk. It's kinda bleak in the winter, but lovely in the summer. Also, all those things you hear about rural Norfolk are true."

You: "Okay. If I want to subscribe, can I?"

Me: "Yes! You can do that that via iTunes or Spotify. Also, if you want to read my  hourly missives from life in the middle of nowhere, please visit: https://twitter.com/Kerrypurcell"

You: "Jeez, back off. You sound desperate."

Me: "I'm not. Honest. Please like me. Also, if you like this podcast, can you buy me a coffee :-) https://ko-fi.com/kerrywilliampurcell"

You: "No."
