ResonanceFMera Tracey Sanders-Wood Circle of Sound a DIY/Recycled Sound Exhibition 29 April 2005

Artists associated with Resonance 104.4fm take part in an exhibition focused on recycled sound, bringing together found sounds and re-contextualised art works. "Circle of Sound" simultaneously celebrates the fleeting and fragmentary affects of sound while exploring the unfolding processes of signification within sonic culture that has for too long been subservient to visual-centered art discourse, "explains curators JIm Backhouse and Magz Hall (of Resonance 104.4fm's You are Hear). They contribute to the show along with Disinformation, Iris Garrelfs, Sharon Gal and Moshi Honen, Kaffe Matthews, Tracey Moberly, Jason Synott, Dan Wilson and DJ Wrongspeed. The works on show are varied, Ranging from jason Synott's oversized hearing aid to Iris Garrelf's audio meditation upon the rubbish mountain and environmental issues. You can relax for half an hour after work in Kaffe Matthews' huge red velvet sonic armchair, complete with nine speakers immersed in plush upholstery through which music emerges - and then try to catch Disinformation's Theophany,' described as a "very low frequency recording of a single frequency - dispersed nocturnal noise peak radiated by lightening in a tropical electric storm." It lasts only 0.083 seconds and is, the artist claims, the world's shortest sound installation. Easier to get to grips with, if only because it lasts forever, is Sharon Gal and Moshi Honen's Solipsist, which plays an infinite, self generated musical masterpiece. But don't dither: the exhibition is on for less than a week from Tuesday 3 May to Sunday 8 may, at the Foundry Gallery, 86 Great Eastern Street London EC2A 3JL. Opening times 7pm - 11pm Tuesday - Saturday, Weekends 3pm -11pm. Free info: www.foundry.tv
