Field recording is a practice that embraces the methodology of recording site-specific ambient sounds outside of the studio. The practice is also known as \u201cphonography\u201d &#8211; a term used to signify its similarity to photography. Field recording was originally developed as a documentary approach in the Anthropological field research; it also stands analogous to location recording in filmmaking, albeit mostly being controlled by the predominant narrative strategies of cinema. In this talk my interest lies in examining the nature of sound contents that are recorded and used in the field recording-based sound-works, and the particular approach in which the audible evidence of the sites or landscapes are handled in the composition. I will discuss how field recording-based sound-works tend to obscure site-specific information by compositional processing, whereby the auditory evidence is kept ambivalent leaving questions about the degree of abstraction sound art goes through.<\/p>\n<p>The talk will be followed by live performance of a number of recent sound-works, two of which will be appearing soon on \u0421yland Audio Archive (CAA) &#8211; a project initiated inside \u0421yland Media Art Lab, New York.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">Live in concert:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Elements Songcycle (2007 &#8211; 2017), duration: 12 minutes<\/p>\n<p>Exile and Other Syndromes (2015 &#8211; 2017), duration: 20 minutes<\/p>\n<p>The Well Tempered City (2010 &#8211; 2014), duration: 18 minutes<\/p>\n<p>Eye Contact with the City (2010 &#8211; 2013), 17 minutes<\/p>\n<p>Free entrance, donations are welcome.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1603973949614835\/?acontext=%7B%22source%22%3A5%2C%22page_id_source%22%3A700143486817825%2C%22action_history%22%3A[%7B%22surface%22%3A%22page%22%2C%22mechanism%22%3A%22main_list%22%2C%22extra_data%22%3A%22%7B%5C%22page_id%5C%22%3A700143486817825%2C%5C%22tour_id%5C%22%3Anull%7D%22%7D]%2C%22has_source%22%3Atrue%7D\">Event on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talk and performance by Indian-born artist, researcher, writer and theorist Budhaditya Chattopadhyay.
