- As a Practitioner-Researcher my artistic inquiry contributes to the fields of media practice and performance arts. Knickerbocker Glory is a composed feature commissioned by ABC Radio National, (the national broadcasting organisation in Australia) for their Radio/Sound Art series - Soundproof “Art for the Ears”.
“Soundproof explores the ever-evolving audio landscape, bringing the best and brightest working across mediums in Australia and beyond to the airwaves, and carves out space for innovative sounds and stories ranging from the familiar to the unexpected.”
The composition feature methodology as an innovation in the practice field of storytelling in sound. I assume the role of composer and producer in the creation of the work.
This methodology shifts material practice in the field of storytelling in sound by disrupting the dominant aesthetic of the supremacy of the spoken word. This gives equal weighting to music, spoken word and sound within a montage structure. The composed feature gives rise to new concepts surrounding voice and presence by employing a methodology where authorial presence is realized through voice as a pluralistic entity which combines the authorial or storytelling voice, the composer voice and the physical voice.
Knickerbocker Glory is an evolution that firmly situates the methodology in the international sphere, whilst continuing to develop my research inquiry:
How does the composed feature methodology shift material practice in the field of storytelling in sound?
How does bringing musicality to the fore develop understanding of the relationship between music and narrative?
What is authorial presence, and how does the composed feature give rise to new concepts surrounding voice and presence?
Knickerbocker Glory was first broadcast in Australia November 2016 and is available to national and international audiences online indefinitely via the Radio National website. Radio National weekly audience is 631,000 plus.
