ArtCast_audio Spring 2008 Week 1

Released 10th April 2008

This is the first of four weekly podcasts in association with moves08, in which audio and video art exploring the theme of this year's moves festival, the interaction of movement and sound, has been selected from an international open call. For the first week two audio and three video pieces have been brought together, all of which have a shared wit and communicative sensibility.

In this week's ArtCast_audio:

Rosemary Hudson: Darlin Instrumental (1 min 25 sec)
Using sound, and basici recording equipment, London-based Rosemary Hudson has re-created the XX teen’s song Darlin’ using only her own voice and layering sound upon sound.  Her solo efforts are called me me me because the choir consists only of her.

Richard Higlett: SPIN (1 min 05 sec)
“SPIN” is part of a series of sound pieces where effects have been added to artists’ dialogues sometimes in a comedic manner, at other time for the purpose of imposing a false tension in the narrative.
