The Fleurieu Sound Map has been getting a lot more attention this year, with various archival recordings being added as well as a batch of new recordings from the Yankalilla District. This recent trip to Yank is documented in the new video below.
There’s more to come over the next couple of weeks, with another update featuring archived hydrophone and contact mic recordings. Earlier this year I decided to broaden the scope of the sound map to include recordings of this type since I think it will provide a deeper and more interesting insight into the soundscapes of the region.
I’m currently in the process of uploading these recordings as well as producing a special new video which will provide an overview of the hydrophone/contact mic process and feature some of the recordings.
Tristan Louth-Robins (*1981, Adelaide, South Australia) is an Australian artist working principally in the medium of sound art. Ideas of sound and its signification are key elements in Louth-Robins' work, traversing the space between the visual and aural his sound art is realised through the mediums of recordings, installation and performance. He is interested in sound and its associative implications - including its relationship to objects, technology, urban space and the natural world. Since 2005 Louth-Robins has performed and exhibited work in Australia and internationally as a solo artist, whilst occasionally collaborating with visual artists, musicians and performers. In 2010 he completed his MA at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, University of Adelaide, South Australia.
