A leap into the sonic future: Taking stock of the possibilities of locative audio for drama – and drama for locative audio

Photo by Vincent van Zalinge.

These days it is possible to locate any form of media pretty much anywhere on the planet which has a GPS signal. The whole world is up for grabs as a readymade stage set. Changing the soundtrack to the ‘movie of our lives’ changes everything. As installation artist / sound walk visionary Janet Cardiff puts it, “We understand three-dimensional space by using our vision but also by the character of sounds we hear. If these sounds are manipulated and changed, then our perception of reality can be drastically affected.”

Reculer pour mieux sauter is a French saying meaning to draw back so that you can spring forward better.  This panel discussion will take stock of the territory that some of the most innovative locative audio dramatists have covered in order to size up the landing zone for the next leap forward.  

The panellists will include: Duncan SpeakmanFrancesca Panetta, Boz Temple-Morris, David Merleau, and Ralph Hoyte from Satsymph.  The panel will be chaired by NG Bristow, who is a writer / director and artist.

Walking slowly while recording the unseen

Get behind the microphone to discover how one makes compelling audio recordings that engage both armchair listeners and those of us out and about on foot. We are delighted to have brought together four creatives who have travelled to remote places, revealed hidden histories, and captured the soundscapes and voices of past and present, to enable us to sit back in comfort or stride forward to listen to what is unseen.

Travelling and stumbling

If one travels on foot there are times that one will stumble. Not just physically but also accidental upon things, events or ideas that otherwise would not have occurred without walking.
