It’s taken a while, but the Sorbonne University’s Publication MusiqueS & Interdisciplinarité is finally out. A huge resource, my article on the mobile musician is page 345.

Last day of a summer’s nomad sessions. Listening back to some of the recordings and a chiffchaff begins to join in.

A rough recording on my phone, processing the sound on the sea through a group of apps on my trusty old iPad #seatechno

I found this early attempt at electro-acoustic composition, clang clack buzz, to play along with the hawk hovering video.

Repost from summer 2014, Paris.

This video marks the beginning of a period of sustained investigations to develop a workable and repeatable technique for headphonic performance. Paris at the best of times is a noisy, sometimes chaotic place, and this video captures some of the sense of bewilderment felt as I gave myself up to the movement of the streets. I was using a GoPro 3+ camera for post-performance analysis, but reflecting on the recorded material it seemed that the least interesting aspect was the iPad screen interaction. What was more fascinating was observing people in the streets, how they negotiate shared spaces, sitting, standing or walking.

Almost six years to the day that I began using a GoPro to document mobile SoundWalking on the metro, dated 17/07/14. Already I was asking: “Is this a covert performance? Doesn’t anyone notice?”

Watching back the video today, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems like another world.
