A History of Sound Art accompanies Wet Sounds, the world's only underwater sound art gallery, which is touring the UK in early 2011. |
A History of Sound Art is an eighty-minute audio composition which weaves through different sound works throughout the century with narratives and ideas from some of the prominent artists in the field. It is an insightful retrospective into the craft of sound and its development as an artistic practice, from Edison's first sound film in 1895 to today. Composed and arranged by Dr J Milo Taylor and mixed by Joel Cahen, the work positions sound art practice in an informative and engaging listening session hosted by a number of contemporary art institutions in tour cities, including Modern Art Oxford and Whitechapel Gallery. A publication mapping the development of sound art over the last 100 years will accompany the presentation.
