Syndicate: Drift across Glasgow in November... |
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ New Media Scotland presents Drift: Acoustic Ecology Venues across Glasgow, 12,13,14 November +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ For three days, Glasgow will be the host for 'drift' - an imaginative, vital and accessible programme of sound art & acoustic ecology based performance, workshops, installations, soundwalks & talks. http://www.mediascot.org/drift/ drift involves people who are concerned and committed to caring for the quality of the acoustic environment through the perspective of their field or individual situation. People who, if they are creators of sound, are sensitive to the relationship between their own sound production and the acoustic environment. drift actively encourages participation and attendance in all of its events from all age groups and walks of life. Within the framework of drift, we present an innovative diary of events and talks that includes: - Live sound art performances. - Artist installation works. - Workshop and discussion areas defining the relationship of sound to art and how this can be facilitated with new technology. - Soundwalks in and around the city. - Soundscape works and sound creation software in a dedicated listening / computer area. - The creating and sharing of sound via the Internet and World Wide Web together with Internet access to Sound Art related sites, sound archives and experiments. - A special event with children as the participating artists. - Encouraging the building of sound sculptures. A limited pressing CD featuring recordings by featured artists will be available during drift. A free publication will also be available containing articles on sound art, acoustic ecology, resources and interviews. For further information and a free programme contact: New Media Scotland P.O.
