The Contraphonic
19 Nov 2015
The Contraphonic Sound Series is a project that aims to document cities through sound. The Sound Series consists of distinct approaches to accomplish this task. The field recordings and sound pieces in the A Lot You Got to Holler section are ambient field recordings and collected soundscapes of Chicago that allow one to listen in and interact with places on a map. Tonal Drift is an examination of place through the medium of sound, made via cut-up field recordings from locations across London, the Greater UK, and Chicago. A Pittsburgh-focused series of curated and composed pieces by musicians sonically exploring a particular place, event, neighborhood or moment across their city’s history. The resulting work is released digitally with an accompanying booklet of essays and photos on the topic at hand.
