Sound Art Brighton # InBetween

Broadcasts and new works by Sound Art Brighton, a female and LGBTQ+ artist led organisation dedicated to the support, production and dissemination of sound art. Founded in 2019 as a Brighton-based initiative, the group initially focused on bringing together individuals, institutions and organisations interested in sound art in Brighton and Hove to collaborate on shared activities, culminating in the Sound Art Brighton Festival in March 2022.

InBetween is Sound Art Brighton's contribution to World Listening Day, the theme this year being Listening to the Weave of Time.

– weaving the soundscapes of our time – the original and the treated, the industrial and the natural, the static and the dynamic. In our foray through the Newhaven Harbour area, along Mill Creek and through the Tide Mills ruins, we discovered sprawling nature sites with birds and insects braving the rainy day and projecting against the noisy backdrop of the busy harbour. As we explore the discordances of this environment through a series of sonic snap shots, sounds shifts from close-to to wide-field, from reality to imagination.

Recording & composition by Chris Sciacca. Production: Chris Sciacca & Kersten Glandien. Consultation: Joshua La Gallienne
