Cut and Splice Podcast series
This was a series of podcasts I was commissioned to create by Sound and Music in the Summer of 2009, to accompany the Cut and Splice Festival entitled Living Rooms.
The Domestic Soundscape Cut and Splice Podcast series looks at the role sound plays in our engagement with domestic space. The series features conversations between artists, sonic experiments with domestic objects and spaces, and plenty of ordinary sounds. Featuring Bobby Baker, Hilary Kneale, Karen magazine, Bob Levene, Mark Vernon, Aki Onda, Erik Belgum, Rachael Matthews, The Domestic Appliance Audio Research Society and others. The Domestic Soundscape Cut and Splice Podcast series is a carefully navigated journey through sounds, ideas, compositions, existing practise, varying approaches and thought. The context of domestic space and the way that it sounds is the focus around which experimentation, conversation, recording and listening, are arranged… A weekly routine becomes a score. A teapot is used for its acoustic properties. A room gets sonically wallpapered. Old family tapes are bought out of the attic and heard again. Tape is knitted. Plumbing is played. Carrots and potatoes get peeled… tracklists and images plus each show will be added in future days; at the moment TAPE is up, but expect to find ROOMS & CHAMBERS, HABITS & ROUTINES and THE DIFFICULT DOMESTIC added soon. Please email your comments on this show to me at felixbadanimal ay hotmail dot com, as I am very keen to hear what people think of this project. You can find each individual podcast plus notes and tracklisting, on the sidebar to the right, under this title page.
