felicity ford celebrations 06:23

Track info - all tracks recorded by Felicity Ford on Edirol R-09 using inbuilt mic

Sources: home firework displays, kids and stones and a river near Dent in the lake district in the UK, exploding candy, popcorn, fizzy water, champagne, the waterfall in Clovelly in the UK, the volcanic ground at Solfatara in Italy, a bonfire in East Sussex in the UK, rain on the tent whilst camping along the West Highland Way in Scotland and a fizzing hangover tablet.

Other writings about radio and my work - Felicity Ford enjoys experimenting with the entire format and context of the radio show as a destination for her projects. She has been a sporadic contributor to Framework since 2005 when she stumbled across the show on Resonance FM and promptly recorded a Framework intro in the bath. Since this auspicious beginning, she has gone on to create radio shows of her own on themes as divergent as the design of mobility aids, (The Missability Radio Show) fantastical representations of ordinary reality, (The Fantastical Reality Radio Show in association with Mundane Appreciation) and the domestic soundscape (The Domestic Soundscape Cut and Splice podcast series.) Felicity Ford also creates radio features for The Hub on BBC Oxford. Linking these divergent projects is an ongoing fascination with unspectacular reality, a feminist preoccupation with domestic space and the gendering of various crafts and materials, and a deep appreciation for both the online and offline communities that surround podcasts and radio shows.

In the final year of her PhD looking at presenting everyday sounds to audiences and the domestic soundscape, Felicity Ford is hoping to explore instruction scores, sound-walks, text-based projects and performance. She is currently collecting sounds for a rendition of Alvin Lucier's Gentle Fire, developing a sound-based Zine entitled Play, and walking along the road she most regularly drives along, in order to experience its local and minute sounds from outside of her car.

Celebrations has been specially collated for [framework250] from Felicity Ford's ongoing collection of sounds that are caused by, or sound like, explosions and fireworks.

murmer many hands, no eyes 12:44                                                              photos: laura elcere

in early 2008 latvian artist maksims šenteļevs and i led a workshop in tartu, estonia entitled sound as space / sound as language.  our activities included intense acoustic explorations of our shared space, in this instance tartu's genialistide klubi, using found objects and elements of the space itself, and a blind soundwalk, in which participants were led individually with closed eyes through an extended many-handed soundscape inhabiting the entire building.  this composition has been created from recordings made of our collective activities.  many thanks go to all the soundmakers: siim angerpikk, teresa heinonen, mari jõgiste, aleksei kasnel, karl laanekask, kaj lahtinen, triinu lille, diana lohmus, eija mustonen, laura paju, tuukka seppala, anni terava, sven vabar, kristel vali, aleksei zaitsev, kaspars kalniņš, laura elcere, and maksims šenteļevs.

participant sven vabar had this to say about the experience:

members of our group reminded me of some children who have come home with some weird creatures, like kittens or toads or butterflies or huge beetles or midges. and they are not sure whether their mom will be happy about those creatures or not. but it was nice to see how our members after a short while set all their creatures free in the big house where the workshop was held. the house became full of small bold creatures whose names nobody knew.  and it seemed to me to happen that the people who brought along all those strange creatures vanished, became unnoticeable or like shadows compared to those sonic creatures, who became much more real.

scott sherk victor's lament 04:16

Victor’s Lament is a monumental steel and cable sculpture by Mark di Suvero on the Muhlenberg College campus. In heavy winds the suspended I-beams swing back and forth sending vibrations through the solid steel structure and its steel cables. I often tried to record this “lament”, but was only successful when I attached piezo discs to both the metal I-beams and the steel cables. The recording was made with homemade piezo contact mics, DIY buffer boxes, and an Olympus LS-10 on a freezing cold day in Pennsylvania.
 

Scott Sherk is a sculptor who often works with sound. He work has been widely shown including exhibitions at the Katonah Museum of Art, the Allentown Museum of Art, and the Kim Foster Gallery in New York, New York. He has released a collection of field recordings from Iceland on Wandering Ear. He is currently working on a collection of recordings of 23 fountains of Beverly Hills.

rail contact hoverfly 01:28
  /  rail contact trains 01:41

as a field recordist not only do you discover fascinating sounds, but you are also regularly given instances of how you, and what you are doing, are regarded by others. it is very interesting how this differs from place to place. currently security paranoia is a major issue; certain countries will allow recordings that in others would result in arrest or searches under anti terrorism laws (the latter has happened to me several times in the UK).

the Czech Republic is a joy in this respect. these recording are contact mic recordings of rails as trains run at speed over them. i was completely undisturbed while making them. people in Prague often walk beside tracks and cross them at any point if need be. a railway employee even suggested that we go inside the tunnel in full view of the main station to record there. it sounded great.


1) rail contact hoverfly - whilst recording the internal sound of a rail track with a contact microphone a hoverfly chose to use the mic as a display platform. It's buzzing is a truly bizarre combination with the rail hums.

2) rail contact trains - the internal sound of a rail track as two train pass by. the first is actually on the adjacent track so is transfered sound from 10metres away. the second is on the same track that the mic is attached to.
