Three Retracings
Browser-based audio publication, stereo, 167 minutes (in development)
Three Retracings presents a body of sound works exploring sensory and temporal tracings of urban development in Narrm Melbourne, Kaifeng and Suzhou from 2016 to 2019. Returning, re-listening and recording locations in each city over this period, nine works form a set of sonic relations between neighbourhoods undergoing urban transformation. Three Retracings interrogates the contentious role of the field recordist as an itinerant documenter, archive-maker, visitor and tourist through attending to the impact of accumulative listening in different contexts. This browser-based body of work places three listening in conversation to probe the ways in which they shift, append and diverge through revisitation.
Due for publication in 2024.
