I’ve programmed the latest edition of the Eleven Eleven podcast. You can listen to it over at Alias Frequencies

This edition of Eleveneleven features a myriad of voices. Different voices with different perspectives, some familiar, some strange. Actually mostly strange, or estranged. We bring these outsiders inside for a delightful and unpredictable conversation.

Messages, by Jennifer Teo & Shannon O’Neill.

Five channel generative sound installation

Part of an ongoing series of artworks exploring site, memory and relationships, beginning with Waterfront Utopia (Newington Armory, 2010).

Exhibition

Hidden 2011, 7 March – 8 May.
All Souls Chapel, Rookwood Cemetery, Sydney.

Background

Throughout the twentieth century, paranormal investigators sought to capture the ‘voices of the dead’ using the technologies of the time, such as radios and tape recorders. These ‘electronic voice phenomena’ are now widely thought to have been random, innocuous signals.

However the urge to reconnect with loved ones who have passed seems inherently human. The proliferation of new technologies for capturing and distributing memories suggests that such a connection is increasingly possible.

About the work

Messages explores this uncanny phenomenon through a site-specific sound installation that plays recordings of deceased loved ones, from sources such as answering machines and home movies. Members of the community are invited to contribute their own recordings, facilitated by social media and the web.

The chapel is a place of remembrance in which memories will spontaneously emerge, through spatially diffused audio recordings.

Recordings of the artists’ own deceased parents are included in artwork. Jennifer Teo has a personal connection to the site as her mother was cremated at Rookwood in 2004.

Call for contributions

You are invited to contribute your own recordings of deceased loved ones, to be included in a future version of the work.

The website for the Powerhouse Museum’s exhibition ‘The 80s are Back’ includes a number of articles about the culture of the time. My article about sampling in the 80s has just been published. It focuses on the influence of the Fairlight CMI sampler and artists such as the Art of Noise and Kate Bush.

2011 is the 20th anniversary of our radio show/band Wake Up and Listen, so we delve into our audio collage archives for some treats. Also tonight, we feature Sydney experimental music legend Garry Bradbury, whose back catalogue has just been made available at Bandcamp, and we hear from mash-up pioneer the Evolution Control Committee’s brand new album All Rights Reserved. Plus the usual cutting-edge beats and pieces you’d expect from the Fog.

The latest edition of furthernoise.org includes a compilation ‘The Sound of Live Performance’, with my track Iris Detonation.

Iris Detonation is an excerpt from a live performance at Disorientation, at the Abercrombie Hotel, Sydney on 2005-10-26. I’d prepared a glitchy piece in AudioMulch, but was surprised when my laptop and sound card decided to contribute their own glitches and dropouts. I couldn’t listen to this recording for a long time, but can now appreciate the extra dimension of broken sound.

Here’s an ABC Classic FM interview/podcast about my Rolling Stock installation, Locomentum:

http://www.abc.net.au/classic/australianmusic/stories/s3104512.htm

The interview took place the day before the event, so the sounds you hear are of work in progress. I have some recordings of the actual train trip, which I’ll publish at some point.

Thanks to Stephen Adams and Somaya Langley from ABC Classic FM, Sarah Last / The WIRED Lab, and Chris Watson.

Waterfront Utopia, by Jennifer Teo and Shannon O’Neill
