Dance Music
Artistic co-residency at Bournemouth dance centre
I spent a week working alongside Fine Artist Rita Brown and Lila Dance during the development of their work 'The Incredible Presence Of A Remarkable Absence'.
​
We were invited to respond to each others creative practises during the creation of work. This was the first time I had worked with field recordings and this week really provided the foundation from which the Lost Sound Project was born.
​
I recorded the sounds of the dancers and their movements and interaction with props. I also went out into the envrions of the building and it's surrounds to capture field recordings. I recorded the mark making activities of Rita and her actions during the creation of her art and in the preparation of her equipment.
​
Addititionally I worked with Lila's Musical Director Doug who provided some guitar riffs for me when I was stuggling to create melodic sounds.
​
I found the process very challenging and I was afraid to share my process or results. Eventually summoning the courage to play what I had made to the group I received some really positive feedback which was very encourgaing.
​
This week inspired me to think about making music from found sound and by creating my own sounds instead of using samples
