All are invited to the latest evening of sonic experimentation from music collective Bang the Bore, inspired by the current exhibition Rona Lee: That Oceanic Feeling. Bang the Bore features artists: Robert Curgenven, Kostis Kilymis, Will Montgomery and Yaldaboath.
Coinciding with Rona Lee’s exhibition – That Oceanic Feeling – which explores undersea environments, resources and topographies in the context of the ocean as the our most potent symbol of the unconscious – Bang the Bore’s fifteenth Southampton event explores the sonic mapping of water via field recordings, resonance methodologies and contact mic strategies.
Robert Curgenven
Performing using materials used in the creation of his Go Outside CD (5 hours of recordings of the Taurion River created by Cedric Peyronnet) Curgenven’s deliberately impossible intention – of assembling a sound work that addresses the river in its entirety – draws our attention to the inadequacy of representation and the limits of our ability to conceptualise and relate to our environment. recordedfields.net
Kostis Kilymis
A musician, installation and video artist, Kilymis’ exploratory concerts frequently use feedback systems to investigate the acoustic properties of the physical environments in which he performs. In using sound to map space his working methods strike parallels with the use of sonar to map undersea topographies. kostiskilymis.com
Will Montgomery
A keen examiner of London’s acoustic environment, Montgomery first came to Bang the Bore’s attention because of his Thames Water hydrophone recordings (released on Compost and Height) and his writing for Wire magazine. At Depth Sounding he will be presenting a selection of his water documentation. selvageflame.com
Yaldabaoth
The solo project of John Bradburn, who will be contrasting the sounds of water inside and outside the human body via treated field recordings and contact mics attached to flesh. soundcloud.com/yaldabaoth
The event is free however donations will be gratefully received.
