Faster Than Sound: 'LISTEN'
Curated by Russell Haswell
Bernie Krause, Chris Watson and surround recording and diffusion support from Tony Myatt
Creating a spectacular habitat of sounds...
Curated by audio and visual artist Russell Haswell, who has presented installations for both art gallery and concert hall internationally, this promises to be a pioneering residency that brings spectacular sounds from the natural world to the Hoffmann Building.
Chris Watson and Bernie Krause are both electronic music pioneers and leading sound recordists in their fields; whether consciously or not, we have heard their work in recordings for David Attenborough, or for the world's largest collection of recordings of (now destroyed) rain-forest. But there is more to them.
They are bio-acoustic and natural history specialists and, as an electronic musician, Krause is also known for bringing the Moog synthesizer to Europe, and was also a 'synthesist' on Apocalypse Now. Chris Watson was a member of 'Cabaret Voltaire' from 1972-81, and also of 'The Hafer Trio' from 1981-84.
With the assistance of Tony Myatt and interference from Russell Haswell, they will present an acoustic habitat in the Hoffmann Building, a fully immersive
ambisonic/surround sound event that will astound and amaze!

Faster Than Sound
Faster Than Sound began as a one-off experiment that through the huge interest from artists and audiences has now created a momentum of its own.
Thanks to three year funding from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Faster Than Sound is able to build on the previous success of its one-off events at Bentwaters Airbase, developing a fresh approach that focuses on commissions, residencies and collaboration.
Presenting a new year-round programme of events and a much-needed residency element, Faster Than Sound now takes place in the Hoffmann Building, the recently converted industrial spaces at Snape.
