ArtCast_audio Spring 2008 Week 2

Released 17th April 2008

This week's selection explores and makes manifest tensions which arise in the relation of audio to visual, sound to movement, and vice versa. One audio and two video pieces communicate the intensity inherent in such relationships.

In this week's ArtCast_audio:

Seth Brignell: Scratched Concrete 5,6,9 (11 min 20 sec)
“SCRATCHED CONCRETE 5,6,9”, by Seth Brignell, was created from numerous concrete recordings of metal made in rich acoustic environments. The recordings were then duplicated onto various CDR’s which were then scratched. The resulting chance material was re-spliced together to create rhythmic and repetitive ‘frames’ of sound to which emphasise particular nuances.
