Introduction

Inspired by JA Baker's The Peregrine, in which he spends 6 months documenting his efforts to find, observe and record the characteristics and habitats of the elusive falcon, Resounding will afford me the time to explore and record the sonic landscape in the same locations as Baker, to orientate myself in his landscape and make audio documents of the area, its wildlife and habitats.

This concentrated period of time will allow me to explore new ideas for interpreting and reworking the recordings and to investigate the idea of turning birdsong into music, and to make location/species based generative compositions. I will also develop new ways to present sound works based on the recordings within rural and urban environments as well as more traditional gallery spaces.

Funded by Arts Council England's Develop Your Creative Practice grant 2019 - 2020.
