Event overview
Hillel Schwartz and Chris DeLaurenti on 'Noise Practices, Theory and Histories'
Hillel Schwartz's recent monograph Making Noise (MIT Press 2011) "embraces", according to David Toop, "steel tools, devils, listening in darkness, stethoscopes, bedlam, escape from slavery, a multitude of wars, steam, flatulence, shirt-making, ears in folklore, sex, the static heard in telegraphers' headsets, pneumatic door checks, cosmology, street bands, smog and the relationship of diabetes to deafness".
Chris DeLaurenti, composer, improvisor, activist and phonographer, writes on his practice: "My work, the offspring of my love affair with sound, incorporates murky atmospheres, everyday speech, unusual field recordings, and an array of instruments deployed in maniacal recombinant polyphony."
Venue: PSHB (New Academic Building) LG02
The discussion is followed by a performance by Chris DeLaurenti (8.00 - 9.00pm)
Venue RHB 167
The events are free and all are welcome.
