I’ve modified my Grants for the Arts project so that it includes a final presentation of Hear a Pin Drop Here, rather than of An Audio Guide to Varo’s Harmony. Whilst I still intend to pursue the latter I’ve found that stage-based work is less relevant to my practice than site-based (although anyone could have told you that), and frankly, I much prefer walking. Today I have walked five and half miles in the first stage of my pin dropping at Battersea Arts Centre: http://hearapindrophere.com/2013/06/03/battersea-d…
Many of the techniques I used in the Harmony performances (you know, learning lines etc) have been useful in other work over the last few months, so in that respect it has been quite useful to keep the work at a ‘work-in-progress’ stage. It might end up as something radically different, like a vinyl pressing of the finished sounds. We’ll see. For now, I am grateful to ACE for allowing me to modify the last bit of my project, and am looking forward to developing the pin dropping into a guided tour on Friday…
