Submission for the Cities and Memory Italy Sound Project:

Cities and Memory is a global collaborative sound project encompassing field recording, sound art and sound mapping – remixing the world, one sound at a time:

citiesandmemory.com/sound-map/

Recognising a presenting water theme in the Cittadella recording, we sought to create a work that sonically connected our hometown of Ipswich (Australia) to Italy through the sounds of water.

We chose a location in Ipswich that has a prominent water feature along a stretch of river – the Riverheart Parklands. Here we captured two field recordings within which the Italy Cittadella track was embedded. This can be heard between 2.12 and 5.54, with all three recordings flowing together.

We chose not to manipulate any of the field recordings as a means of preserving the integrity of the sounds as located and recorded in that moment. We also recognised the manipulation of the natural element of water to fit an unnatural structure.

The same approach was taken to capture the guitar piece – a spontaneously performed live room recording via mobile phone as the field recordings played. Finally, the drum track was improvised to move through the untouched sounds of life provided by the field recordings and the almost eerie, effects - drenched guitar.

Across the work there appears to be a seamless interaction between the natural and the human environments – voices / birdsong; traffic and the constant flow of water. The guitar and drums however, wandering sonically in and out of time, asks us to challenge that perception.
