Symposium
15 - 16 Feb 2013
Curated by Cathy Lane, Angus Carlyle and Cheryl Tipp
A collaboration between CRiSAP and the British Library as part of the Sounds of Europe Project, with the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union.
An international symposium for field recording that explored the practice, art and craft of field recording through a series of panel presentations, listenings and screenings.
The symposium aimed to relate the multitude of contemporary field recording practices to their historical precedents, while investigating issues in contemporary practices such as how field recordings are distributed to and heard by an audience, recording the unheard, mapping the urban field as well as questioning the extended nature of the field in a digital networked landscape.
Presenters included: Ximena Alarcón, Joeri Bruyninckx, Angus Carlyle, Daniela Cascella, Des Coulam, Peter Cusack, Simon Elliott, Felicity Ford, Helen Frosi (SoundFjord), Zoe Irvine, Christina Kubisch, Cathy Lane, Udo Noll, Francesca Panetta, Nye Parry, Davide Tidoni, Cheryl Tipp, David Vélez, Salomé Voegelin, Chris Watson, Claudia Wegener, Jana Winderen, Mark Peter Wright.
The symposium also celebrated the publication of a new book In the Field, edited by Cathy Lane and Angus Carlyle.
