AUDIBLE FIELDS: BINAURAL NIGHT
THE CUBE CINEMA, BRISTOL, UK
SUNDAY 22ND NOVEMBER, 8pm
A special edition of audible fields devoted to the three dimensional world of Binaural sound: 108 headphone inputs will be installed into the Cube auditorium, for one night only. Allowing invited artists to fully control the spatial perception of each listener. Featuring field recordings, films and live performances from Dallas Simpson and Phill Harding.
Please bring your own set of stereo headphones.
Binaural is a term used to describe the method of recording sound using tiny microphones placed inside the ears or mounted onto the side of a dummy’s head. When the recording is played back through headphones, the result provides the listener with a realistic representation of the
space the sounds were original captured in.
This event is part of the All Around You season of sound art events heard during the autumn season in and around Bristol.

Dallas Simpson
has spent over 10 years involved with recording and performing binaural soundworks. The subject of each recording varies from natural surroundings, to artificial environments. In addition to recording these soundscapes, Dallas Simpson also performs these compositions live. A number of samples of his work are available for download from his website.

ARNOLFINI DARK STUDIO, SAT 21 & SUN 22 NOV, 12 – 6pm FREE
In
Sept 2009, V.I. sets out with a sound system on an environmental tour of the sea region of the Bristol Channel. The project aims to investigate its physical and emotional properties and examine its effects on sonic outputs and processes. Performances will be made for and at chosen sites along the Channel, taking into account the unique acoustic map of each site, incorporating their varying aesthetic, sonic, atmospheric, practical and logistical features, amplifying the rhythms of sea and shore – with or without a human audience. At the November event, V.I. will present the results using sound and image collected on the tour.
