Sound Research of China

(2010)

The audio drama “Sound Research of China” (Michael EDDY, KANG He, 李增辉 LI Zenghui) is composed of episodes from research into the makeup of the sound environment of Beijing. The process consisted of many outings as a group into the streets of Beijing and following and questioning the sounds that we identified as “characteristic” of life in China, and of the relation of sound to life there. Working as a unit of three “specialists,” each of our backgrounds informing our manner of recording, analyzing and editing the source materials, we pursued the sounds in various ways to see how they might compose their own narrative and drama.

Credos 3

The third edition of Credos took place on August 29th, 2020 as part of Art in the Open in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and supported by Verticale. It featured the work of Lea Cetera, Michael Eddy, Cliff Eyland, Michael Fernandes & Craig Leonard, Mina Hedayat, Asako Iwama & Derrick Wang and Sean Lynch.

 

Credos is an ongoing exploration into the spiritual searching that emerges through artistic practices. It began as a series of tabletop presentations of art works and discussions in church bazaars in Laval, Quebec. The invited participants are artists and writers whose work has engaged with belief in various ways, many of whom have dealt with their own personal experiences of organized religions, without staging a rejection or a celebration. Rather, there is a translation process involved.

This edition also featured Credos Radio, an accompanying live 8-hour radio program, playing on a speaker as part of the installation in the plaza next to the Confederation Centre, as well as streaming online.

Blue Monuments

In collaboration with Ilja Karilampi
Audio, 12’04”
Radio Epodes, on Radio Papesse as part of Manifesta 7, Trentino, IT, 2008

Italian version:

English version:

Blue Monuments is an anthem for chess champion and failed Russian presidential candidate Garry Kasparov’s political campaign: it is a narrative, incorporating both fact and fiction, with musical elements, including media documents and a notational transcription of Kasparov’s fateful 6 games against Deep Blue. Through it we imagine a history that might have been written otherwise, in a kind of audio retouching.
