sound plotting #2

A day of sound art and music in nature

Location

Relocated to The Rose Hill due to inclement weather

Date & time

Sunday 23rd July 2023
12.30 – 20.00

Set in the beautiful plots of Stanmer Organics and its space age centrepiece The Earthship, Sound Plotting #2 will carry on where the debut event last year left off – a day of site specific sound art, installations, deep listening, sound walks, improvised music and performances.

This is also a chance to welcome you to the site of our wonderful new Ecomusicology Project!

Come and explore the hidden and apparent sonic landscapes of an incredible site and uniquely inspiring artistic and fun environment.

The event is free but we appreciate all donations to cover the running costs.

Sound Plotting is a co-production by Lost Property, The Rose Hill, Brighton & Hove Music for Connection, The Coach House and Sound Art Brighton.

This event is supported by Outlands Network Exchange Programme, a new initiative set up to develop collaborations between its members across England.

David Vélez

The Acoustics of Rootedness

In The Acoustics of Rootedness, David Vélez will present sounds from his research in edible plants and sound. They comprise experiments in vegetable invigoration with sine waves, audio documentation from the squealing sounds rhubarbs made when growing in dark shades after their speedy forced growth, and underground recordings from earthworms in soil planted with rhubarbs, tomatoes and beets.

Joshua Le Gallienne will host a conversation with David Vélez at 16.00 to discuss the ideas and technologies behind David’s recent practice and on-site installation.

Listen Club #5

After the success of Orchard Listening last year, which inspired the launch of our monthly Listen Club at The Rose Hill, we decided to take this month’s Listen Club outside for an alfresco listening at Stanmer Organics.

Four sound works have been selected to mesh with the special listening conditions on site. Please join us for an event of focused listening and shared audio experiences in natural surroundings.

The works will be accessible via QR codes and personal headphones. We will also have a few mp3 players on standby.

Location: Community Orchard

Time: 15.00 – 17.30

Hydrophony – At the Pond

Our Hydrophony installation will allow visitors to listen live to the sonic world of underwater pond-life at Stanmer Organics. The installation can be found at the pond on the Centre for Ecotherapy plot.

Location: Centre for Ecotherapy plot
Times: 13.30 – 14.05 & 14.40 – 15.15

This live-event will be followed up later in the year with a special Listen Club at the Rose Hill, on hydrophonic recordings from around the world.
