Affiliate Update: UK and Ireland Soundscape Community (UKISC)

2/2/2021

 
Rob Mackay - Flight of the Monarch

Rob has co-produced and presented a 30 minute radio programme for BBC Radio 3's Between the Ears called Flight of the Monarch. It was Pick of the Day in the Radio Times and is available to listen to online here:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000qyhz

​It partly documents Following the Flight of the Monarchs, an acoustic ecology project in which streamboxes are being installed across monarch butterfly migration routes for ecosystem monitoring and the creation of artworks and telematic performances. https://followingtheflightofthemonarchs.com 

Nikki Sheth

Nikki Sheth presents:
  • 'Binaural Soundscapes of South Africa' as part of the We're All Bats Listening Arts Channel (weekly, Wednesdays throughout February 2021). 
  • Debut album 'Sounds of Mmabolela', released on Rummage Records.
  • Nikki was commissioned for Land Lines Project to create a soundscape work based on nocturnal wildlife in the UK. Listen to Nocturnal Insights here 
  • In 2020, SOUNDkitchen released two new soundwalks: the B37 Soundwalk and the Stirchley Soundwalk. The B37 Soundwalk by Annie Mahtani and Iain Armstrong explores the green spaces of the B37 postcode area in Solihull. It was created in association with B37 Project and was commissioned by Eastside Projects in 2020 as part of their Link & Shift Artist Walks series. The Stirchley Soundwalk was created by Nikki Sheth and commissioned by Ten Acres of Sound, encouraging a deeper connection with the natural environment and a new awareness of the hidden sounds around us – both natural and man-made. Listen on the SOUNDwalker app, more info here: https://soundkitchenuk.org/ 

Alex De Little - Sonic Acts of Noticing

Engaging with practices of field recording in Sheffield, Sonic Acts of Noticing proposes careful listening as a way to (re)think and (re)make the spaces of the high street in ways that draw attention to forms of collectivity, and support productive and agonistic relations, intensities and concerns. 

​This project will be shown as an installation at the British Pavillion at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale, and through an audtio-textual web listening environment (https://sonicactsofnoticing.org/).

The project is based in and supported by the School of Architecture at Sheffield Hallam, and a collaboration with Julia Udall and Jon Orlek.  ​
Aki Pasoulas
A new research project started in September 2020 at the University of Kent, which investigates the role of sound in influencing our experience of spaces and places. It focuses on heritage sites and it aims to recreate soundscapes of bygone ages based on historical documentation. The project will run until the end of 2022 and is led by Dr Aki Pasoulas, a board member of UKISC. Further details: https://research.kent.ac.uk/sonic-palimpsest

David de la Haye - Land Lines Project: Nature Revealed


David has created an 'ASMR Edition' EP, which was released alongside his Land Lines commission:

In times when personal connections often take place online, the concept of digital intimacy gains value. This EP, released to complement my 'Land Lines Project: Nature Revealed' commission, explores the sound of freshwater soundscapes in the context of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR). The close-up recording, repetitive patterns and binaural production techniques align with the genre's aesthetics, bringing ecological listening to our home environments. 

More on the project can be found at: https://landlinesproject.wordpress.com/hidden-sounds-nature-revealed-by-david-de-la-haye/
