Days is an experimental work that uses a game engine* to play back field recordings on a minimal interface*. Different days of recordings are available to download at the start and updated from time to time. Individual tracks are clicked through and listened to unmixed, as the recordings playback in sync.
Recordings are multi-miked in the same or nearby locations using different microphones, hydrophones (and ultrasound transducers to follow). Durations are from 1 to 5 minutes.
Days’ focuses on the co-production of sounds in the field and during playback, rather than on specific subjects or locations. The focus is on exposing these concurrences rather than orchestrating them or substantiating any one reality or dominant voice.
Through common sounds that occur across the recordings, and ‘perfect’ crossfades, the tracks both interpenetrate and coalesce into patches of sound and straightforwardly follow on from one another. The recordings demonstrate vital coevalities and shared environments, not only alienated spheres of life. Against technological imaginaries of linearity and dead repetition, the effect is actually slippery, cellular.
