Mari Ohno, student on the MFA in Computational Arts, reports on Goldsmiths’ contributions to the international sound festival in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
From 22 to 26 April 2015 there are 19 events in and around the Sonic Arts Research Centre at Queen’s University Belfast. For the launch of the festival the festival, Goldsmiths’ Sonics Immersive Media Lab hosted a concert and listening room.
I presented two electroacoustic compositions, entitled floating sound and speaking clock at the Sonic Lab, Sonic Arts Research Centre.
floating sound is a composition using the sound of the composer’s bloodstream as a sound source, and was presented as an acousmatic live performance with 16 channel sound system on 23 April.
speaking clock is also a composition created with the recordings of speaking clocks in various sites around the world, and played in a loop during the festival at the SARC Surround Room.
My colleague Matthias Moos, who graduated from the MA Computational Arts last year, presented his installation piece ’Exhibit A – Oh My Gosh’ at the MultiMedia Room SARC throughout the festival. This piece is an audio-visual installation projected on the top of woofer speaker unit, to make a holographic illusion.
