One Instrument welcomes the Australian sound artist and composer Felicity Mangan. Based in Berlin since 2008 she plays her found native Australian wildlife archive and other field recordings exploring the timbre and biorhythm of animal voices and field recordings to create minimal quasi-bioacoustic environments.

For the release on One Instrument the mouth organ is her instrument of choice. Felicity explores the resonance and pitch of the reeds within at the harmonica The Echo Harp of the brand M. Hohner.
“Bell Metal Reeds” shows a committed and ambitious composition in each singular tone. The striking attention to detail and commitment to investigating tonal possibility characterizes throughout the whole body of work.

As an amateur player, through breath and minimal electronic music composition techniques she composed four beautiful organic ambient pieces within the parameters of the One Instrument concept.
Felicity breaths new life into the harmonica and meditates on a the single instrument where she takes extraordinary sounds out of.
The Echo Harp that Felicity used was found on a flea market in Hamburg in February 2020. All tracks were composed during the severe lockdown in the Autumn of 2020 in Berlin.

Composed and produced by Felicity Mangan

HER 他 Transmission 089: Sam Eckhardt

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to another Transmission broadcasting from the HER 他 Transmission Mix Series. We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who made 2021 special and has continued to support HER throughout everything that has been happening since we threw our first event in Taipei back in late 2019. 

Before officially welcoming 2022 into our lives, we want to deliver a special edition New Years Eve HER Transmission, and for this we have invited Sam Eckhardt.  

Sam is a writer and archivist based in Naarm [Melbourne]. She is part owner and operator of the record store Lulu's; a shop that focuses on music and writing from the Australian underground and like-minded contemporary international movements. Her mix for HER incorporates works taken from, amongst more conventional sources, privately produced cassettes, CD-Rs, and her own extensive archive of live recordings.

In addition to her work at Lulu's, she is currently working on an English language history of the Japanese experimental rock band Hikashu.

Please enjoy the mix and remember to support, share, and be kind to everyone!!

Saphira - Hybrid live set at Jeanne Barret 13.11.2021

The latest release by Australian, Berlin-based artist Felicity Mangan collects a series of works created during 2020 and 2021 and reveals the artist’s fascination with all things water and other related phenomena. Featuring a wide scope of works – a recording of a performance utilising biorhythms and timbres collected from river banks sits next to a monophonic installation piece inspired by both amphibians and amphitheaters or recordings of a human-frog conversation – ‘Wet On Wet’ is fascinating both in concept and sonics, continuing to expand on Mangan’s previous interest in biophonic patterns, quasi-bioacoustics and aural illusions.

Released on Longforms Editions March 2019
The title Stereo'frogi'ic is a play on the word stereophonic – to play with the illusion of multi-directional audible perspective – in this case presenting a quasi-bioacoustic sound piece, crafted from found recordings of frogs, insects, a recording of an animal scattering in the bushes and other 'vocal' animals wavering about in a stereo field. This piece was recorded and edited in the summer of 2019.

I have used slightly modified animals sounds to create aural illusions, morphing the perception of animal and machine generated sounds or raw recordings and digitally effected sounds. I wanted to create a tempo that would mimic something similar to the meditative sense you can experience from the flow or sound of the wind and other elements, when you are sitting in an open field while recording.

Stereo'frog'ic (Longforms Editions 2019)

<a href='http://www.espaces-sonores.com/stphane-marin-eng'>Stéphane Marin</a> presents a weekly series of fifteen short soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout East Asia. This series for Resonance Extra forms part of a wider project, 'Each Morning of the World', which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.

In this episode, 'Moganshan Lu Pile Driver' Terence Lloren. 

"My favourite recording from my time in Shanghai, and one that's representative of my experience of the city during the past decade. It was recorded at M50, an old factory complex that had been converted into artists' studios and gallery. 

I was showing my friend around that day and there was this tremendous sound. Each thump rattled the glass in the old windows and shook the ground. We explored a little and found a high vantage point to witness the reinforcement of the bank along Suzhou Creek, with a new row of piles not 30 meters from where we stood. 

We stood there mesmerized with the violent rhythm. Notice the echolocation-like effect of the hits bouncing from the glass buildings across the river. Creating space with a non-visual medium."

East Asia PhoNographic Mornings #18 - Terence Lloren 'Moganshan Lu Pile Driver' - Sunday 10th May 2020

<a href='http://www.espaces-sonores.com/stphane-marin-eng'>Stéphane Marin</a> presents a weekly series of fifteen short soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout East Asia. This series for Resonance Extra forms part of a wider project, 'Each Morning of the World', which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.

In this episode, 'Bayankhongorijn Khukh Nuur' by Patrick Franke. 

"In 2013 I took part in an expedition to Central Mongolia. I was focussing on sound recordings to clarify the taxonomic status of some species based on bioacoustics or even to make first ever recordings."

Amongst other places we went to an alpine area surrounding the lake Bayankhongorijn Khukh Nuur. As days during expeditions are usually very packed, time for recordings of the general soundscape or even enjoying that just by listening is very limited. Thus, this excerpt of an one hour recording is a rather rare exception.

My aim was to document the soundscape of this particular spot after capturing vocalisations of most of it's inhabitants discretely. Furthermore this recording of a sparsely populated habitat should scrutinise Bernie Krauses 'acoustic niche' theory which is mostly based on data from densely populated habitats."
