Cities and Memory - remixing the world

Balgowlah slowdown

23 Jun 2025

Description

"I slowed down Emma Lambert's field recording progressively and in layers so the soundspace is a gradual stretching of her field recording. At three quarters of the way to 4min and 8 seconds, the length of the original recording, it is hard to hear the birdsong that is now at about 1 percent. By the end it is at  0.1 percent. The sounds are still there.  "There's a saying that if things change gradually you don't notice. This was the inspiration behind the slow down of Emma Lambert's recording.  "This gradual silencing of the birdsong by slowing down the recording also mimics my own gradual hearing loss. I didn't notice the gradual loss of sound and now with new hearing aids can hear birdsong again:)" Sydney dawn chorus reimagined by Sonja van Kerkhoff.
