Sound ART
Considered one of the first experimental noise artists, Luigi Russolo (leader of the Italian Futurist Movement) designed and built a series of noise making devices known as 'Intonarumori' . Russolo was convinced that the evolution of the urban industrial soundscape called for new approaches to music , insisting that melody limited human potential to appreciate more dissonant and complex sounds. Over 100 years later, we at Voert digital invite you to listen with 'open ears' to what is possible ....
when the human spirit is not crushed and brainwashed by commercial interests.
Tomoko Sauvage & Alexandre Joly
Shimmering sounds
The recording features Tomoko Sauvage's sound installation, "A Rainbox in Curved Water", and Alexandre Joly's, "You Are Right Now To Make Sense of the World" deliberately presented in such a way that they can be listened to simultaneously. Tomoko Sauvage's installation consists of melting ice in amplified porcelain bowls. Alexandre Joly's work, a kind of dreamlike landscape, diffuses through piezo discs a soundtrack made up of more or less abstract layers, crackles, rustles.

Vancouver Soundscape
In addition to introducing the concept of soundscape, he also coined the term schizophonia in 1969, the splitting of a sound from its source or the condition caused by this split: "We have split the sound from the maker of the sound. Sounds have been torn from their natural sockets and given an amplified and independent existence. Vocal sound, for instance, is no longer tied to a hole in the head but is free to issue from anywhere in the landscape. Steven Feld, borrowing a term from Gregory Bateson, calls the recombination and recontextualization of sounds split from their sources schismogenesis..

On the Machair
This piece is part of a larger ongoing project
(hebrides-suite.co.uk) that attempts to both explore and communicate something about history and memory related to the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, through sound. It uses a mixture of monologues, field recordings and interviews collected during a number of trips to the Outer Hebrides as well as material from existing oral history archives.
This section is loosely woven around aspects of the crofting lifestyle past and present. It starts on the machair (a Gaelic word that describes an extensive low-lying fertile plain which is one of the rarest habitat types in Europe. Almost half of all Scottish machair occurs in the Outer Hebrides) and in particular the machair around Sollas a small crofting township in North Uist. .
