Simultaneous Echoes

In collaboration with music composer, Frank Lyons.

Technical Assistance: Takeshi Kawashima

Simultanous Echoes is a practice-based research project. The project explores how fragmented musical elements, which were recorded in different locations and at different times can be reconstructed in cyberspace.

These source materials are sampled with a set of audio recoding and video cameras and with the support of GPS data sampled in specifically selected locations in and around Londonderry and in collaboration with communities of interest there including choirs. It is an unique that the structure of cyberspace, composition of movement of video and position is not only used for organizing visual materials, but also used as a musical notation, a 3D locative music score€™.

As a music score constitutes a kind of thinking space for a music composer, this spatial, locative music score is also a media thinking space for conducting music in a new way. It reframes in innovative ways the process of producing whole data, recording, capturing, editing and disseminating music and soundscapes.
