DAN SCOTT

http://www.trishscott.org/danscottblog/?page_id=836
















in Dan Scotts work i particularly like the way he has it hanging from the sealing i think i was also adopt this style for my window.


My first initial response from the sound from Scott’s was that i was a little bit confused due to the fact he uses polyphonic sound however in Dan Scotts work i particularly like the way he has it hanging from the sealing .allowing the listener to walk around listening to the different radio broadcasts. When I first met this artist I liked how he was fascinated with sound and how he would record everything like our conversations, also I remembered him talking about how most of the time people try to block out the sounds that you 
would hear every day and that by keeping your ears open you reveal a whole new world .



Listen above to a composite simulation of the radios playing as if you were moving between them. The piece is intended for in-situ listening so the recording only gives an impression of the effect created..
Listen In features twenty portable radios broadcasting the sound of Heart FM – London´s most popular station (RAJAR September 2010) – being listened to at the same moment in time but in twenty different locations across the city. Each broadcast occupies a 1Mhz range running across the FM spectrum from 88Mhz to 108Mhz. Locations and listeners range from a man listening via his mobile phone on the number 25 bus to a mother and daughter in a living room in Camden; from a carpenter in a workshop in Peckham to a crowded cafe in Elephant and Castle.
