ArtCast_audio Spring 2008 Week 3

Released 24th April 2008

For the third week of podcasts exploring the moves08 festival theme of the interaction between movement and sound, three videos and one audio piece have been selected. There is a subtlety in the execution of these pieces which crosses the line between calming or contemplative and something more unnerving and sinister.

In addition to the ArtCast_audio and ArtCast_video podcasts, we’re also making both the audio and video ArtCasts available as OGG files. OGG is a free non-proprietaryi media format. You can use the free open sourcei player VLC, downloadable from here to play these files.

You can download this week's audio OGG file by clicking on the download audio file link on this page. Or to get hold of each OGG file as soon as we release it, you can subscribe to the rss feed by clicking on the orange symbol to the right of your browseri’s address bar on the ArtCast_ogg list page.

In this week's ArtCast_audio:

Kevin Logan: Moving Parts #1 / slow spindle (9 min 23 sec)
“Moving Parts #1 / slow spindle” is a sonic piece which spans the areas of soundscape and experimental music, combining an interest in the incidental noises incorporated in the production and recording of music and sound: A by-product of using virtuali sound studios is still physical movement and mechanical noise.
