We are looking at new media in art and how it can be used to create live and immesive experiences.
We are interested in how sound can be used to affect an overall space and change the experience of that space.
We are interested in how sounds can answer each other and how a response can come from hearing a sound.

Meeting 26th february
The group have decided to gather a bank of sounds to give to the guests (dennis McNulty and Peter Forde). We have roughly decided to either talk abstract sounds, or sound images(a sound which is recognisable as decribing someting). We are looking to get about ten sounds each. We need to have these by next monday ( 3rd march)and they should not be compressed(so in wav format preferably, but just definatly not mp3) Also its easiest id we have them on USB.
We are hoping to have Peter Forde set up outside the trevor scott hall
If possible we are looking at cordoning off the back of the trevor scott hall for Dennis Mc Nulty.
We spoke to dennis mcnulty about his requirements re sound systems, preferably he wants a PA system so we are looking into that, though we may need some extra funding for this, he definatly needs a decent amount of bass.
So basically are requirements for space/equipment
-PA system
-Trevor Scott Hall(the back is possible)
-Outside Trevor Scott Hall(a corridor area for Peter Fordes piece
-We need to find out peter fordes specific equipment requirements

Seminar Presentation 21st February 2008
- The first point of our critical framework is concerned with thr first speaker who we have confirmed, Peter Forde. In relation to Peter Forde, we are looking at the physicality of sound, the sensory element of sound and how the overall space can be affected by using sound. He has chosen to use 'Pure Data' a new programme to catalogue the sounds which the group will be working on.
- Our second probable speaker is Dennis McNutly. With Dennis McNulty's work we are concerned with an interactive experience, a conversation with sound and how sounds can answer each other. For this we will be recording sounds ( perhaps concerned with an overall theme of interior sounds vs exterior sounds or sound images vs non sound images) and having Dennis McNutly respond to these sounds with his own sounds.
- We are concerned in general with the non phsical in art, the interactive element of sound and the other issues raised concerning the two speakers we have selected. We are interested in the use of new technology in art especially in terms of the programmes Peter Forde uses. We are interested in creating live spaces of experience.

Meabh,
This does sound good. Something that I might suggest for playing with space is that you record sounds using two microphones on either size of something similar to a head. Apparantly this records sound as to how it bounces off your head and when played in stereo. You could go into 5.1 surround but this may do the trick, particularly with less reliance on hardware capabilities.
I will do some work in pure data and let you know how things look. But I will not have enough time for about a week.

Peter,
The group put forward the following as an informal
proposal if you decide to participate: to examine the
effect that sound and its properties have on the space
it occupies. An idea is forming to record sounds based
around theories to do with sound's pyhsical and
sensory elements (loose ideas here were to play around
with affecting sounds so that a sound played in close
proximity sounded far away, or an interior space
sounding underwater). We definately want to create a
live space of experience with your help on the day.
Possibly using pure data to set up sensors to set off
the sounds? Possibly incorporating other elements if
needed such as visuals or objects. Dennis McNulty is
our other potential guest, if confirmed, he will be
helping us set up a "conversation" in sound, where
people attending can interact by playing pre- recorded
sounds back and forth to each other in a space. Any
suggestions or changes are welcome,as we are still
working on a final idea.
Hope this interests you,
Thanks,
Meabh
