Listening to / in Public Space
(2024)
author(s): Justin Bennett
published in: KC Research Portal
As an artist working often with audio walks I often have the nagging thought: does using headphones to present sound in public space immerse the listener in a bubble, separating them from their surroundings?
This research looks at the form of the audio walk and the possibilities of using binaural recording, narrative devices and locative media to prioritise engagement with the environment.
In addition it documents the re-activation of an older work of mine in a app using geo-location and it collects documentation of a number of walk-pieces including scripts, audio files, maps and other background information.

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
mv2:k (2022-23) is a 22-minute piece of algorithmic electronic music in which the biblical creation story - read by seven people in seven languages - has been set to music. In the score, which can be downloaded here, all those aspects that could be highlighted as components of electroacoustic composing are explained: techniques and procedures (including code and patches, the latter of which can be downloaded via a link), analysis, theory, as well as remarks of an aesthetic, programmatic and literary character (the contradictions of which, incidentally, the author did not bother to resolve).
