Burial – Streetlands

I was listening to the new burial EP and thinking about artificial silence

Kind of reminds me of groupers use of texture. A field recording underneath, barley audible but just a hint of space, a crack of light. The stereo crackles, the sound of medium, and yet this is clearly digital music, with stretched mangled samples as much artefacts of themselves. Long tunnels of reverb evoke decaying underpasses, yet they are frequently washed out by uncertain pads that soar and halt with just as much pace. A meandering collage of hauntological game music dungeon synth, puddled streets, spoken-narrative phrases like glimpses of masked faces in shadowed alleys.

My essay should cover this. Collage in place.

Reclaimation of common sound in the context of virtual worlds?

The post-scarcity of space, Plunderphonics ownership and land

Loading the silence Australian sound art in the post digital age

Record field recording at home maybe mix into 

Sense of place and sound

sound arts as ways of exploring aspects of place

Structure 

Localise the idea, soundscape at home, record my own voice, like manor lands 

Urban land and the struggle of public spaces 

Common land, record common village ground?

Interview people who use the place?

The eternal sonorous feedback loop a sense of place

Invisible places sounding cities sound urbanism
