Songbird was produced
during a LabCulture residency at ArtSway in October 2002. The project
explores the relationship between sound and vibration.
Recorded birdsongs are dropped in pitch and/or duration, increasing the
level of vibration. Sound generation can trigger decline of both animal
habitats and of airspace unpolluted by human sound. The work has developed
as a parallel to the convention that deafness constitutes loss, by enabling
sounds to be experienced as a physical as well as sensory phenomenon.
To best experience this project you need a good set of speakers with a
wide dynamic range, particularly at the bass end.
Damien Robinson has been successful in gaining an ArtsAdmin bursary and
plans to develop her ideas further. The versions here have been prepared
using shockwave as a 1.4mb or 2.4mb download depending on your connection
speed.
