Programme of works – Monday 4 March 2019

1: Pablo Sanz
Title: 49º 23ʹ′ 35” N 19º 32ʹ′ 52” E
Synopsis: This piece features surface and inner ice recordings made in the
Orava reservoir (Oravská priehrada), the largest (35km2) lake in Slovakia. The
speed of sound in ice is approximately 4000 m/s, entailing a much different
behaviour than sound travelling through air (343 m/s). The crackles and
mechanical vibrations propagate through the ice, travelling long distances, and
producing stunning percussive sounds and ethereal resonances. During a week
In January 2016, I made long recording sessions which created more than
sixty hours of materials. The piece could be heard as one week of listening
compressed into almost eight minutes.
Duration: 7 minutes 55
Biography: Pablo Sanz makes site-specific and public art projects, immersive
multichannel live performances and installations, exhibitions, broadcasts,
pieces for headphone listening and releases. His practice is guided by his

2: Gavin Fort
Title: Birth
Synopsis: I took a wee handheld recorder along to record my partner’s time in
hospital giving birth to our child. We started in the birthing pool but were then
moved upstairs to the labour ward to be on the safe side. We didn’t know if we
were having a boy or a girl. I have never really figured out what to do with these
recordings but I thought at least it would be cool to capture someone’s “first
breath.”
Biography: My background is in music production and studio recording but I’m
interested in anything sound related, particularly radio works and location
sound

8: Tony Morris and Aleks Jurczyk
Title: LANDR-SignalDetectionTheory 1
Synopsis: The basic idea for the narrative was that Signal Detection Theory
which emerged in the 1950s to explain competence among radar operators
could be used to explain the competence that people have in detecting signs of
affection or indifference in potential partners. This seemed like an excellent
idea when I started but by the time the track was finished I realised that the
analogy was at best half-baked and at worst a load of nonsense.
