Natasha Barrett - Reconfiguring the Landscape (2023)

Reconfiguring the Landscape was an artistic research project investigating how 3-D electroacoustic composition and sound-art can evoke and provoke a new awareness of our outdoor sound environment.

The integration of art and technology was central to the investigation that focused on sound, space, time and the utility of outdoor areas. The ideas were tested in artistic creations, and during a three-year period Natasha Barrett created a series of site-specific, outdoor sound installations. These works were installed in public spaces for durations ranging from a few days to a few months.

The tracks on this CD are remixes of three installations and one two-part work that hovers in between installation and concert format. They are composed from the installation materials and unmodified site-specific recordings, and intend to capture the immersive personal listening experience of ‘being there’.
