Artist talk by sound artist Jason Singh about the hidden sounds of the natural world and the technologies that make them audible.
Jason Singh is coming to RAMM on Saturday 5 December for an artist talk called The Intelligence Below: New ways of listening to the natural world. He's a sound artist who spends his time listening to things we usually can't hear, and the talk is about exactly that: the hidden sounds, rhythms and intelligence of the natural world, and the tech that brings them into our range of hearing.
He'll be talking through the tools he uses to do it — sensitive microphones, field recording, biosonification and spatial audio — and the question that sits behind the work: what happens when we take the time to listen to processes that lie beyond ordinary human perception? It's a good way to get a look at how he works, and the kind of things he's listening for.
Singh draws on a wide range of projects he's created for museums, galleries, landscapes, gardens, festivals and broadcast, and he shares them through albums, installations, immersive sound and live experiences. That list includes work developed with RAMM itself, the National Trust, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the Bodleian Libraries, the BBC, the RHS, WOMAD and Milton Keynes International Festival, so there's a fair bit of ground to cover.
