Elise Bonifas, 3h30, 
7’49, autoproduction, France

D'après une étude menée par la société spécialisée App Annie, nous passons 3h30 sur nos smartphones. En branchant mon téléphone sur mon ordinateur, j’ai récupéré toutes les discussions vocales que j’ai eues avec une amie sur un an. Je me suis aperçu que c'était un réel espace de soutiens, de réconfort, un lieu où se dépose une parole, où l’on se raconte à travers nos histoires et la banalité de nos quotidiens. Un écho de nos espaces ondulatoires.

Compositrice et violoniste au sein de la Cie L'ETE, elle obtient en 2021 son brevet d'électroacoustique au CRR de Toulouse. En 2022 sa "miniature acousmatique" est jouée au festival FUTURA.

Going Under: Above and Below the River Ouse (2014)
Words, voice, sound: Isobel Anderson
Recorded at the river Ouse, at the point at which it runs through my home town of Lewes, in Spring 2013, 'Going Under' explores the fluidity between mind and location through the language and sounds of water. 

Going Under was performed at the San Francisco Tape Music Festival, the International Conference for Emotional Geographies and broadcast on BBC Radio 3's Late Junction and the CCA Glasgow's Radiophrenia.

Iceland In My Fridge

From Perihelion to Aphelion is a miniature stereo acousmatic etude, which explores the concept of space, both sonically and theoretically. This work takes the listener through a sonic space journey, where the listener experiences sounds produced by three different planet's atmospheres in our solar system; Uranus, Earth and Saturn. Each of the planets atmospheres forms their own section, which represents a different destination on the musical space journey.

From Perihelion to Aphelion begins with the high pitch gestural harmonic atmosphere of Uranus. Before traveling to the windy atmospheric atmosphere of Earth, which reveals small glimpses of the familiar, through field recordings of Earth’s environmental sounds including birds and traffic. The work concludes with atmospheric bass noises that develop the character of Saturn.

The initial concept of creating a space journey was inspired by a number of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sound recordings, as each recording has their own personal history, story, voice, life and energy. In particular NASA Voyager Space Sounds CD (2009) was an important influential tool, as each track provided a true insight into the sounds heard in space, which NASA recorded on their space voyages. In particular three tracks were significant to From Perihelion to Aphelion, including Rings of Uranus, Voice of Earth and Saturn's Rings, as they shone light on the different planets atmospheric characters.

Tombeau pour Françoise Barrière

This piece is part of a larger project (http://hebrides-suite.co.uk) that attempts to both explore and communicate something about history and memory related to the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, through sound.It uses a mixture of monologues, field recordings and interviews collected during a number of trips to the Outer Hebridesas well as material from existing oral history archives.
The voices and recordings in 'Tweed' were recorded over a number of visits to the Outer Hebrides, remote islands off the North west coast of Scotland. The first voice, of weaver Catherine Campbell, was recorded in her weaving shed and shop in Plocrapool, on the east coast of Harris.She is proud of her independent status as a weaver who “doesn't work for the mill” but works for herself. The next voice heard was recorded in a weaving shed near Callinish on Lewis in 1998 as the weaver tried to show me and my friend how to us the Hattersley loom. Threaded inare various atmospheres, voices and mechanical sounds from mill at Shawbost, Lewis recorded in 2006 just as it was about to be sold. As well as the various machines for the washing, drying, dying and spinning of the yarn the weavers are heard explaining some of the physical elements of weaving many of which form spatial templates for the treatment of the recorded material in the composition.

Tweed

I am an electroacoustic composer who specialises in acousmatic works and sound installations. My works also incorporate interaction, soundscape, improvisation, multichannel surround, sound design and live performance elements. I have an MA in electroacoustic composition and sonic art from Liverpool Hope University. I am currently conducting a practice-based PhD in electroacoustic composition, exploring the concept of ‘homage’ as a device and approach within compositional practice, specifically to highlight and celebrate the music and output of forgotten early women electronic music composers. I also design and deliver sound-based workshops for participants to learn how to compose with sound.

My work has been performed across the Northwest including venues such as the Capstone Theatre, Congleton Town Hall, The Royal Northern College of Music and across Halton Libraires venues (Ditton, Widnes, Runcorn, and Halton Lea Library). My compositions have been featured on the radio, most recently on BBC’s Merseyside’s ‘Folkscene’ programme. I was also a finalist for Liverpool City Region Culture and Creativity ‘Impact Award – Health & Wellbeing’ (2021), for my immersive interactive audio-visual sound installation ‘dɪsˈlɛksɪə ˈɡeɪtweɪ (dyslexia gateway)’, which highlights the dyslexic’s perspective.
