"Where Dead Voices Gather," Resonance Extra show

9/20/2021

I was delighted to be invited by artist and scholar Paul Nataraj to contribute to his long-running broadcast project which Paul explains in the following terms as:
  • "an indeterminate process driven radio experiment that uses the book 'Where The Dead Voices Gather' by Nick Tosches as its starting point. Songs are chosen from a series of libraries based on the structure of a haiku. Each show has 17 songs / sounds therefore each show represents a sonic haiku. Where the Dead Voices Gather is exploring the sonic potentials of written text and the indeterminate."
Paul sent me a "prompt script" for the show (derived in a manner reminiscent of spies' cipher-books) and I supplied the "answers" from my own record collection, further explorations and invitations - which I chose to pose to current and former students. You can see those "answers" right at the bottom of this post, with the square brackets indicating the type of source prompted by Paul and artist / title drawn from the letters he gave me. The show was broadcast live on Resonance Extra and then archived on their mixcloud space, you can play this from the widget below.

"It's still raining in my bathroom"

9/7/2021

 
“It is still raining in my bathroom” was uploaded 85 years after Mme Savoye wrote to architect Le Corbusier to complain (again) about the poor construction quality of Les Heures Claires / The Villa Savoye. She wrote “It’s raining in the hall, it’s raining on the ramp and the wall of the garage is absolutely soaked. What’s more, it’s still raining in my bathroom, which floods in bad weather, as the water comes in through the skylight. The gardener’s walls are also wet through.”

The video comprises three elements:
  • Hi-8 footage I shot in 1999 while Julian Weaver and I visited the Villa. With three exceptions, the 'edits' are largely those in-camera choices of when I started and stopped filming;
  • an unedited and unprocessed audio recording from my shirt pocket of an anti-austerity protest in 2002 in Tours which I joined with my friend Jim when the students who we had come to teach went on strike and barricaded their classrooms with tubular steel chairs;
  • hand-painted excerpts of my parts of an essay that was co-written with Julian Weaver about The Villa Savoye (the architectural journal we had written for turned out to be a hoax).

Eugénie Savoye’s 1936 letter was reported by Jacques Sbriglio in The Villa Savoye (1997 / 2008) p. 107 that references the Fondation Le Corbusier archives FLC H1-12-157.

Buddy Peace from Haeckels interviewed me about my work with sound. It was a wide ranging conversation, going back through various projects and also exploring ideas about the biophilia hypothesis, ears and hearing, accessibility, etc. The whole thing has been really nicely edited and soundtracked and comes with a bespoke meditation from Lottie.
