Event overview
Organised by the Department of Art
Cathy Lane is a composer, sound artist, lecturer and researcher. Her practice has been shaped by the women's movement, community activism and a DIY aesthetic and, more recently, by working in schools, colleges and universities. Long standing research interests include how sound relates to the past, our histories, environment and our collective and individual memories which has informed her compositional work and led to research into the use of spoken word in composition; gender and sound arts practices; anthropology and listening. Her work consists of concert pieces, site specific installations, installed compositions or 'documusic' as well as edited books and articles.
Cathy Lane's publications include Playing with Words: The Spoken Word in Artistic Practice (RGAP, 2008) and, with Angus Carlyle, In the Field (Uniformbooks, 2013), a collection of interviews with eighteen contemporary sound artists who use field recording in their work and On Listening (2013) a collection of commissioned essays about some of the ways in which listening is used in disciplines including anthropology, community activism, bioacoustics, conflict mediation and religious studies, music, ethnomusicology and field recording. Her CD The Hebrides Suite was released by Gruenrekorder in 2013. Cathy Lane is Professor of Sound Arts at University of the Arts London. She established the department of Sound Arts and Design at London College of Communication and now co - directs Creative Research in Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP). She is currently using the Her Noise Archive as a catalyst for research into gender in sound arts practice.
