I had a great day out at Fort Process, although I missed a few acts I really wanted to see as I was busy talking about my piece. A lot of people came in and had a go at their own mix of my electro acoustic piece about the Fort, and I had a generally warm response to the work.

So I missed out on seeing The Larsens, which was a shame as they are amazing, but got to see most of the other installations. The stand out for me was Louise Mackenzie’s work which attempted the alter the DNA of microorganisms in seawater using sound.

This is the film I made of the objects from the collection I worked with, and a studio mix of the audio.

 

And this is Agata Urbaniak’s film of how it looked set up in the space

I was asked a few months ago by Crónica to submit some audio artefacts for an installation they showed at oMuseu in Porto to celebrate the label’s 15th anniversary. I didn’t see the final piece until recently and it looks amazing!

An installation by Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais, developed from sound objects by guest authors. The artwork establishes an area for a multi-sensory immersive experience that dialogues with the architectural space and the permanence of the visitor. Speakers, flooring, light, fragrance, and a hovering frame create an infrastructure for three sound pieces for computer and speakers, to be presented for one month each. These are fed by the contributions of the guest artists, articulated in non-linear, generative and open algorithmic compositions
