about

Linking body / movement / place / sound: a site-specific sound composition comprised of only sporting activities.
How can the technical and the narrative aspects of our work be contained in one process?
We thought that composing with very different kinds of spaces, from the close up to the ambient field, from contact mics on the ice itself to the couple of condenser mics aiming the whole space, would provide one of the main directions in the way we record. We also decided to use human voices as strong points (signifiers) throughout the duration (climax / borders / limits / holes/ etc.).

Editing and composing with such a complex, “ready made” and structured material, we attempted to follow / respect any form of time logic, creating “sound art” through the occasion of ice hockey. How far can we go without falling into a pure documentary process, with the kind of form and narrative one is supposed to find in that genre?
