Submerged: Silent Service
(2015, World Premiere)
by Louise K Wilson (UK)
Louise K. Wilson on 'Submerged: Silent Service':
Submerged: Silent Service explores the idea of a ‘gentle’ auditory activism in which background intensities are brought to the fore, resulting in a politically charged ambient soundscape. In this case, the legible voices and most obvious ‘music’ from selected submarine films’ sound tracks have been removed. The piece stems from a conversation the artist had with a submariner who described how when watching feature films, he found himself habitually concentrating on the auditory ‘background’ rather than the dialogue.Special: Louise K Wilson wrote a text about her piece 'Submerged: Silent Service' in relation to the theme 'Sound activism', with which ohrenhoch deals in 2015.
