Info on the Audio -Training- Manual festival in Seoul

[ATM 2020] Social_02

Really thrilled that the Miniature Landscape Correspondence will be part of this stellar festival which begins on 10/15  in Oil Tank Culture Park !

From the festival  notes on the Miniature Landscape Correspondence in the Unheard Voices Program:

” Although the works seem to foreground the visual access to the scene at first sight, they project the natural, invisible soundscape beyond the landscape that is shown, which conveys the meta-presence of the sound in our daily life. ”

Here is a link to the program and  all the incredible Artists involved. Massive thanks to Una for initiating this and to Arts Incubator in South Korea. The Oil Tank Culture Park looks stunning.  More soon.

Jean Tinguely @ Kanal Brut – Incidental Music rework

Poet and sound artist Peter Wullen invited me to do a rework of the Jean Tinguely @ Kanal Brut incidental music track he recorded.
Here is his description:
“Incidental music recorded 06.04.2018 at about 3pm @ the Jean Tinguely installation L’enfer, un petit début during the opening weekend of the new art museum Kanal Brut – Pompidou in Brussels.”

It was a great pleasure to read about my film People’s Park Reverie being screened with Robert Robertson’s Oserake at the Hundred Years Gallery in London a few years ago. This event is mentioned in Robert Robertson’s excellent new book, in the countries of the mind.

I am just starting to dive in, but so far this is a very inspirational and poetic read.

Verzcast #006

I was delighted to discover that “Factory close to the Yangtze River” from The Rain that Fell was featured on the Verzcast radio show on Resonance Extra in late September.
Here is the link if you want to listen. I highly recommend checking out all the programs. This is what their website says:
“verz imprint is a multimedia project that curates and supports quiet music and art, founded in 2016 by Phil Maguire. At present, the project consists of a netlabel (verz imprint), concert series (verznights), and radio show on experimental station ResonanceEXTRA (verzcast). The project attempts to explore ‘quiet’ music past and present, and what ‘quietness’ means in contemporary art(s).”
Definitely worth keeping an eye on.
