\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last year around the end of October I created the stationery for my SOUND BANK project<\/a>. To do this, I screenprinted SOUND BANK onto 365 glassine envelopes along with space for the date, a title and a record number. Then I created for each envelope a letterpress-printed card on which to record (by means of words, drawings or conventional notation) sounds heard throughout each day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The project has been mostly<\/em> successful but there are some notable gaps in the year’s SOUND BANK records where I lost heart with it or was just too busy working on something else to contribute a SOUND RECORD to the BANK for future reference. There are also some anomalous records scattered throughout the year – notably from the project’s brief tenure in Love is Awesome<\/em> – where a special edition was created for the visiting public to fill out<\/a> and I learned that the intended use for my custom-built stationery was not as self-explanatory as I had assumed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is some of the clearest feedback I have ever received.<\/p>\n

I had been feeling bad about the fact that my intended, continuous creation of the SOUND BANK archive was not as consistent as I had originally hoped it to be, but then when I revisited my posts from around October 2008<\/a>, I rediscovered Celia Pym’s marvellous darning and thought ‘why don’t I darn<\/em> the SOUND BANK during 2010?’ So that is my hope; to fill in the gaps that exist in the SOUND BANK, to augment the archive, to try presenting it at various exhibitions in new ways, and to develop it as a tool for recording sounds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Celia Pym’s fantastic darning which I saw for myself around this time last year, when I was making the SOUND BANK.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I am happy to report that December 2008 saw me studiously filling out the SOUND BANK every day, so I have found myself digging out the sealed envelopes from that time and shall be revealing their contents throughout the month of December 2009. I hope you will enjoy opening these envelopes with me and examining the contents…<\/p>\n

Today’s sound is a squeaky plate.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what we were eating but it must have been tasty for me to get to discover the squeaky sound of my plate. The text on my record reads;<\/p>\n

Many different tones resulted from my dipping my fingers in the sauce on my plate and licking them clean.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope you are celebrating the beginning of Advent with something equally delicious.<\/p>\n

If you want to plug in your headphones and experience some sounds recorded in a different way, you can hop over to the sound-diaries<\/a> website where Paul Whitty and myself will be taking it turns to bring you more sonic joy in a new edition of last year’s sonic advent calendar<\/a>. As before, each ‘door’ will reveal 24 seconds of sound from that exact day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
