SOAK Sounds

This project developed and shared conversations with SOAK artists developing sound-based work. This strand of research developed from the first phase of SOAK and our LAB activity. Conversations explored field recordings, site-specific performance, memory and place, feminist performance, matrilineages and embodied histories.

Two artist conversations were broadcast on Soundart radio as follows:
February 2025: SOAK Sounds conversation 1 (Emma Welton & Arun Sood)
March 2025: SOAK Sounds conversation 2 (Nuria Bonet & Rachel Gippetti)

For the next phase of the project, I devised a workshop exploring soundings and site-specific recordings with a group of artists working with sound and movement at Mountbatten Bay in collaboration (March 2025). These recordings formed the basis for the sound design for a new performance piece at the TRP LAB 'The Spiral' developed by Giorgia Ciampi in collaboration with Kerry Priest.
