Description
In the eighteenth century, the body was thought to be comprised of resonant strings. Music vibrated them, shaking emotions and temperaments in time to its reverberations. Filthy Lucre explores the strange noises and mathematical constructions built on these Sounding Bodies.
On Saturday 26th, we will move from installation to concert to gig, with live music and sound art. On Sunday 27th, we will present Kirkegaard’s work alongside free workshops.
The installation of Jacob's work will be open all day and will be unticketed. Free tickets are available for the workshops.
Installation & workshops – 27th November – free
Installation open 12pm-6pm, workshops run 1pm-4pm
Filthy Lucre presents Labrinthitis, an installation by sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard. Kirkegaard explores the tones generated in the inner ear: spontaneous otoacoustic emissions. These sounds are produced without stimulation by some people’s ears. Whereas the combinations of tones emitted from one ear can be dissonant, microtonal and complex, tones emitted from another ear might be harmonious and 'in tune'. Each ear produces something akin to an acoustic fingerprint. Through Kirkegaard’s intimate aural recordings, we can hear our own hearing.
Labyrinthitis works with otoacoustic emissions generated by the artist’s ears to produce otoacoustic emissions in the ears of the listeners. Critic Manuel Abreu describes the experience: ‘At a loud volume, the piece seems to turn one's ears into a bright resonant magnet, sound buzzing ticklishly out of it’.
Kirkegaard explains this process in a free workshop on Sunday 27th. Attendees will have their ears recorded and explore sounding body inside their ears. Percussionist George Barton will perform Globokar’s ?corporel and discuss how this strange work uses the sounds of our bodies
Concert – 26th November – £8/10/12
These ideas are also explored in a concert on Saturday 26th. You can buy tickets here.
