First Light's Third Space #10 - Louis Giannamore & Sean Kinnear ▾
This episode of Third Space sees two First Light Records artists, Louis Giannamore (Barkum Deer/Kinn) and Sean Kinnear, explore themes of space, memory, and nostalgia over the course of two deeply personal mixes. In the first hour, Louis revisits his childhood holidays in the Basque Country of Southern France, trips that are soundtracked in his memory by the heavy metal music that defined his musical youth and the rich coastal soundscapes of the region.
He reinvokes the feeling of these formative moments in a curated mix of his field recordings from the Basque, interwoven with often-overlooked ambient and balladic gems from artists that are ordinarily associated with crushing drums and chugging riffs. In the second hour, Sean narrates a history of his native Salford through music and found sound, as well as exclusive unreleased sonic experiments of his own. From the sounds of textile production to the dancefloor of the White Hotel, from New Order to Machine Woman, Sean’s mix charts a nostalgia-tinged path through Salford’s story and his own.
Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

The Sculptor Speaks ▾
'The Sculptor Speaks' by Olivia Louvel is a resounding of a 1961 recording of Barbara Hepworth’s voice, shining a singular light on her creative process.
This first iteration, premiered on Resonance Extra, celebrates the date of birth of the British sculptor, on the 10th of January 1903.
Recorded by Hepworth herself in her studio in St Ives, the tape’s initial purpose was for a recorded talk with slides for the British Council. Having unearthed the tape at the British Library, Louvel designed for it a completey new sound environment using Hepworth’s voice as a major element in the composition.
Louvel’s practice is built upon a long-standing exploration of the voice, sung or spoken, and its manipulation through digital technology. Currently studying for a Master’s degree at the DMSA, University of Brighton, the resounding of the tape ‘The Sculptor Speaks’ forms the basis for her research, investigating the voice from preservation to resounding whilst taking further the voice of Hepworth into the physical space as a multi-speaker diffusion. A second iteration will follow.
Thank you to Sophie Bowness, trustee of the Hepworth Estate and DMSA, University of Brighton.
