From 29 May to 5 September 2010, co-producers Sound and Music and Forma presented Chris Watson’s sound installation Whispering in the Leaves in the Palm House at Kew Gardens, part of Kew’s Summer Festival.
Chris Watson is a renowned sound recordist and BAFTA winner for his work on the BBC documentary The Life of Birds. In this video he talks to long-time colleague Sir David Attenborough about their experiences sound recording in the wild. The talk was held on 10 August at the Royal Institution of Great Britain and was kindly chaired by Richard Ranft, Head of the British Sound Archive.
Please note this is an excerpt of a 1.5 hour talk.

Pour la suite du monde
Michel Brault et Pierre Perrault,
1962, 105 min 22 s
Documentaire poétique et ethnographique sur la vie des habitants de l’Isle-aux-Coudres rendue d’abord par une langue, verte et dure, toujours éloquente, puis par la légendaire pêche au marsouin, travail en mer gouverné par la lune et les marées. Un véritable chef-d’oeuvre du cinéma direct.

Robert Millis
“40’s is Not Good” (fragment)
from
120 CD
and soon to be released on Sublime Frequencies : My Friend Rain - a film by Rob Millis.
“Filmed throughout Southeast Asia by Robert Millis between 2002-2004, My Friend Rain is an abstract homage to the endless monsoon cycles of rebirth and destruction. Dreamy musical segments, fleeting glimpses, odd sounds, temple shrines, tropical backdrops, decay, death, languid afternoon rains, and mysterious celebratory events take the viewer from soaked mornings in the lowlands of the Irrawaddy Delta to humid nights on the streets of Isan province. Two tracks originally released on Millis’ Leaf Music, Drunks, Distant Drums CD from 2002 can now be witnessed for the first time in this film: an amazing elephant mahout playing a song on a leaf with his mouth and a Burmese marionette orchestra musician performing expertly on tuned drums. The overall experience is an impressionistic collage of sight and sound captured live and in the moment on location in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar.
Along with the DVD which features 12 minutes of extra footage and deleted scenes, the package includes a bonus CD with the film’s soundtrack of traditional and popular music culled from live performance, cassette and LP archives. Some of the soundtrack highlights: a gorgeous Thai Luk Thung track by Waiphot Phetsuphan, a classic Khmer performance by Pan Ron, one of the Queens of Cambodian music, and an epic Burmese pop rendition of the Bee Gee’s “How Do You Mend A Broken Heart,” alongside folk performers, street musicians and a traditional Burmese orchestra.
Robert Millis, original co-founder of both Climax Golden Twins and AFCGT, also co-produced the Victrola Favorites: Artifacts From Bygone Days (DTD 011CD) book/CD project on Dust-to-Digital and is a frequent contributor to the Sublime Frequencies label. DVD/CD comes in a 2-disc jewel box with a full-color insert. DVD is NTSC format, region free.”

THICKLY PAINTED WALLS (us)::
Un homme, deux guitares, deux amplis, un micro.
“The space should be dark.
There will be two light sources.
The sound starts off not so loud.
It starts with no introduction.
The composition is about 30 minutes.
The composition is shaped like a triangle.
It’s entitled “thick hair”.
It ends quietly.

SUGARLIFE (us)::
Club/Disco House/Death Metal.
Camp/cabaret/travestissement: New Yorkais, à la fois “compositeur électronique”, chanteur et metteur en scène de pièces de théâtre où il associe le rituel du théâtre de l’absurde à celui du théâtre comique, influencé aussi par le Butoh. Il aime monter ses spectacles n’importe où, dans l’esprit d’un théâtre portable en hommage au Grand Guignol.
“Ses spectacles sont guidés par un genre de musique électronique parfois abstraite, anti-pop , écrite pour créer une psychologie d’espace libre ou un état de rêve hypnotique.”

Flamingo Creatures are Ruth-Maria Adams and Ronnie Oliveras from Datashock and they are great!
These are killer shows, except for the horrendous “Hey Jude” encore!
Don’t mind if I do!
