L’immersion sonore via des œuvres de Max Neuhaus
À l’heure où l’on parle beaucoup d’art immersif, d’œuvres immersives, de dispositifs immersifs, à l’endroit où la création sonore et musicale tend à plonger l’auditeur au cœur de l’œuvre, des sons, des ambiances, je voudrais revenir sur le travail d’un artiste précurseur, qui m’a beaucoup inspiré et m’inspire encore. Il s’agit de Max Neuhaus. À […]
POINTS D'OUÏE, PAYSAGES SONORES PARTAGÉS

Marche, écouter, se poser, écouter de nouveau, traverser des espaces où les paysages sont (aussi) sonores, être traversé par les sons des lieux, autant de façons de se tenir éveillé aux bruits du monde. Point besoin pour cela de dispositifs complexes, d’appareillages sophistiqués, de prothèses acoustiques. On vise ici plutôt une approche « naturelle », sobre, où […]

Ten years walking and asking questions

In July our book: Breaking the Dead Silence: Engaging with the Legacies of Empire and Slave-Ownership in Bath and Bristol’s Memoryscapes was published by Liverpool University Press. Here I set out some background to the book, and my approach to walking arts through a sketch of a recent Heritage Open Days walk at Bath Spa Unive [...]

Viv Corringham
VIV CORRINGHAM (voice, electronics, field recordings) is a US based British vocalist and sound artist, who has been described as “a vital force in improvised music since the late 1970s” (Corey Mwamba, BBC Radio 3) and “a vocalist of stunning virtuosity” (Louise Gray, The Wire). She makes concerts, soundwalks, workshops and installations. Her practice explores relations between voice, place and walking, responding with sung improvisations to both natural and urban soundscapes. Corringham has received international recognition and awards including two McKnight Composer Fellowships through the American Composers Forum. She is a certified facilitator of Deep Listening, having played and studied with composer Pauline Oliveros. In 2024 this practice took her to Mexico, Spain, Germany and the Listening Academy in Hong Kong. Notable live performances have occurred in festivals at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, Hong Kong Arts Centre, Fonoteca Nacional de Mexico, Issue Project Room New York and Tempo Reale Florence. Her recent album “Soundwalkscapes” (Vol. 1: January to June) on Flaming Pines label (Bandcamp’s Best Field Recordings 2024) has been well received. The Wire wrote that “Corringham voices the depth of place.” Her definitive contribution to sound art practice is the 20 year ongoing “Shadow-walks”, which create layers of time and space, combining recordings from shared and solo walks along the same path with her improvised sung response. They have occurred in 18 countries, are taught in many sound art classes and have been the focus of articles in books and publications.
