This is a project where the artists are recording the sound of living organisms decaying. As well as devising recording devices to pick up very low volume sounds, the artists are developing attenuated time lapse recording, as well as play back systems that collect and send sounds to a listening post online, where people will be able to ‘listen’ to dead animals make their final contributions to the sonic environment as they decay. They are also developing a system to contain decay and recording in such a way that the listening experience can be enjoyed whilst visibly witnessing the physical progress of decay (see image).
This project was funded by the Edith Cowan University Faculty of Arts and Education Research Grants
