David & Sue talk to Susannah Williams & Warren Armstrong about their interactive audio installation “Melbourne Listening” which is on at forty-five downstairs from 27th August until 9th September. Admission is free and their will be an app to download from the website once the exhibition commences. Head on down is you want to hear Melbourne’s iconic sounds from crowds cheering at the AFLW to people protesting in the city; from the industry of rooftop beehives to the steady laps of night swimmers at a public pool… and lots more.
The installation is described on it’s website as follows:
“Melbourne Listening is an interactive installation composed of touch responsive drawings, tapestries and cast objects, that house binaurally recorded sounds of spaces in and around Melbourne, which audience members will hear when they touch the work.
The sounds follow an imagined “day in the life” of the City of Melbourne, and will consist of soundscapes collected from a variety of locations in the wider Melbourne metropolitan area, combined with the stories of community members who live, work or play in those locations, or for whom those locations hold special significance.
From the dawn chorus at the Western Treatment Plant to penguins returning for the night at St Kilda; from crowds cheering at the AFLW to people protesting in the city; from the industry of rooftop beehives to the steady laps of night swimmers at a public pool; from a poet reciting her work on the street to a muezzin delivering the call to prayer in a mosque.
For the artists, the work is also something of an incomplete document of their first six months in a new city, listening to its spaces and inhabitants.
The installation will be exhibited at FortyFiveDownstairs for two weeks from August 27th, 2018.”
