Terrarara
Part Two: Soundscapes, when listening

​

An ongoing body of work from Yimbaya Maranoa Art Collective's camping residency in 2024, held on Gunggari Country close to the Maranoa River, on pastoral property "Terrarara".​​

​

Relational and situated listening is a core practice of the collective. This project was initiated at Terrarara and is intended as an ecoacoustic modality for deep listening to Country.

​

Site specific listening recognises non-humans as both actors and listeners in a de-centred soundscape. A situated field of sounds is inseparable existentially from, and specific to, that place and moment. Embodied listening places the self as permeable, connected and participatory.

​

Iteration One - Wind Harp. A collaborative sound installation with recordist and guitarist Stewart Kruger, and a travelling guitar set on an open and elevated site catching air flowing over the strings. (Incidental percussive effects occur when human or others made physical contact with the installation.)
