*#283: 2010.05.09
*this edition of /*framework:afield*/ has been produced in the uk by
regular contributor *felicity ford*, and is a radio version of her
interpretation of *alvin lucier*'s /*gentle fire*/:
This radio show has been based around recordings made by Felicity
Ford for a recent performance of Alvin Lucier's /Gentle Fire/./
Gentle Fire/ is a score written by Alvin Lucier in 1971, and it
explicitly details the process of collecting sounds that is familiar
to all field-recordists.
/Collect, on tape, examples of ambient sound events such as
those made by
Screeching Brakes, Chattering Guests, Warring Gangs, Rioting
Prisoners, Stalling Motors etc.
Using an electronic music synthesiser or any equivalent
configuration of electronic components, process the examples in
such a way that they become transformed into what could be
perceived as sound events of different origin such as those made by
Ocean Waves, Wind in Trees, Flowing Streams, Boiling Tea, Cooing
Doves etc.
For example, Snarling Dogs become Crunching Snow; Crashing
Planes, Laughing Girls; and Manoeuvring Tanks, Ocean Waves.
Record these transformations…in any sequence or any number of
channels, using any manner of mixing, overlapping…taking care
only that the process of change from each original sound event
to its final state of transformation is slowly, gradually and
clearly heard…
- excerpt from the prose score, Gentle Fire
/
Using the prose score as a guide, Felicity Ford has been collecting
sounds for /Gentle Fire/ for two and a half years.
Trying to change one sound into another is a process that makes us
think about surface quality and texture, space and duration. To make
Droning Turbines sound like Sounding Dolphins is not easy, and so
far methods for collecting such sounds as Frowning Clowns and
Spurting Blood have proved elusive. However, hopefully trying to
change sounds in this way, searching for rare or potentially
inaudible sounds, or even imagining what such sources would sound
like, expands our ideas of what the mind’s ear is capable of.
THE RECORDING MAY CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING SOUNDS AND TRANSFORMATIONS*
SOURCE SOUND TRANSFORMED SOUND
TEARING PAPER SCUTTLING CRABS
SCREECHING BRAKES HONKING GEESE
CREAKING DOOR CROAKING FROGS
DRONING TURBINES BLOWING GALES
BUZZING SAWS SWAYING PALMS
FRYING EGGS FALLING RAIN
POPPING CORN DRIFTING SANDS
RAGING FIRES BOILING TEA
ROARING TRAINS PASSING SHIPS
SPINNING WHEELS CREAKING BOATS
SNORTING HOGS WHOOPING CRANES
MELTING SNOW CRACKLING FIRE
STOMPING BOOTS RUNNING BOYS
DRAINING DREGS SWIMMING TUNA
CRACKING ICE SPOUTING WHALES
BARKING DOGS WARBLING BIRDS
*THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE LIST AND YOU MAY HEAR OR IMAGINE YOU
HEAR SOMETHING ELSE.
A version of this show was mixed live at Sonic Art Oxford earlier
this year, and you can read more about this score and the process of
