IF06: Tangible Frequencies -Bobbi Kozinuk

Particular sounds can bring you to a known location or lead you places you’ve never been. In this radio soundwalk, audioscapes are broadcast continuously from several locations in and around Open Space Gallery. Soundscapes are emitted which contain pre-recorded audio samples from various sources, including locations in Victoria. Other sounds within the soundscapes will be processed, taken out of context, and altered using various methods. Sounds will be mixed and layered to create complex soundscapes, which may at times invoke a sense of familiarity in the listener. Participants will be given radio headsets that will pick up sounds from several transmitters as they move around the gallery and its periphery. The viewer/listener is an active participant in enacting the piece – they seek out and discover the work through exploring the gallery and its environment. Each person has a different experience of the soundwalk depending on the route that they take through the environment. New sounds mix with sounds that they are already experiencing as they encounter areas of specific radio transmissions during their walk.
