About this blog...

The purpose of this blog, is to capture a chronology of sound art, through events (performances, workshops, talks, symposiums or exhibitions), publications (articles, books, audio, video), press (reviews written or broadcast) and individuals and collectives working within the field.I begin posting in mid- 2011, and will work backwards, uploading details of past events, cataloguing them alongside photos, sound bytes, video clips, press releases, brief reviews and essays. Simultaneously, this blog will inform of upcoming events (of all varieties) which use sound as a central element. In this way, it may be used both as a diary, and an archive. This blog seeks document the uses of sound art in practice, not advertise any name, brand or institution. I use the words sound and art loosely. I do not consider it necessary to debate the boundaries of what can be called sound art, or discuss what sound art is or should be. Within these pages you may expect to find everything from experimental music and noise to sculpture and installation, and essays and books to visual art and video art, alongside acousmatic music, interactive instruments, soundscape composition, radiophonic art, sound performance and installation, graphic and conceptual scores, and all that lies between and beyond. Occasionally, some events listed here may not include sound or art at all.I include a search bar, where exhibitions, artists, and key words may be searched for within this blog, to simplify the process for those who wish to use this page for research.Documenting sound art events is a monumental and impossible task. Therefore, I would be grateful for messages informing me of past or future events not listed here, I would happily add more. I have a limited sphere of knowledge, and would be particularly happy to hear about events outside of the UK.

About this blog

The title of this blog refers to a collection of essays by French theorist Roland Barthes, 'Image, music, text', which includes the seminal 'Death of the Author', upon the relevance of which I shall later dwell. At this point I shall only note, that the transition from reader/viewer to perceiver to author, is of the utmost importance in my further writings.
The focus of this blog will lie primarily in the field of the participator within sound arts practice, but by no means excludes art in any media, should its content be relevant. I will post details of upcoming events of interest in this field, as I have not found a common forum which lists all sound art performances and exhibitions.

Within these pages you may expect to find everything from samples of interesting experimental music and noise, to my notes on sculpture and installation exhibitions, essays, reviews, extracts from books, to visual art and video art, alongside such sound arts as acousmatic music, interactive instruments, soundscape composition, sound performance and installation, visual and conceptual scores, and all that lies between and beyond.
My purpose is to document art that I encounter, and describe my experience of it. The importance lies within the concept, and how I as an individual perceive it, in the hope of building wider discussions with any of readers, who may interact differently, or similarly, and to ultimately assess successful methods of inviting interaction with art.
As I begin this journey, I will be reviewing and rewriting previous notes I have made on this topic, posting a variety of essays I have written in the past, and my own ventures in sound. Due to the quantity of this, it is impractical for me to post chronologically. However, once this task of sorting through my past relationship with art dwindles, my posts to this blog will be regular, discuss projects which are current, and will be chronological to the date when I discover the topic in question.
I include a search bar, where exhibitions, artists, and key words may be searched for within this blog, to simplify the process for the blogee. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any comments or enquiries, I would be most curious to hear them.
