\"\"<\/a>Last year [2008] I came up with the idea of creating soundscapes <\/a> – little impromptu sound recordings captured during my travels, and around my home, accompanied by my photographs. I created 3 series, the first was set in amsterdam<\/a>, my then-new home; the second in Paris<\/a> while I was photographing my upcoming book<\/a>; and the third in Sydney<\/a> while I was there visiting my family in August 2008.<\/p>\n

The soundscapes <\/a> were a roaring success, with the finale for series 3<\/a>, getting a whopping 90 incredibly moving comments, including many emails for CD requests!<\/p>\n

I love making the soundscapes <\/a> so I will begin posting a new series soon, but in the meantime, I just wanted to re-post one of my personal favourites<\/a> below: this is what it sounds like on our houseboat. Now that Spring has arrived, I have some windows open to let in the beautiful light, and I am so pleased to notice that this soundscape is exactly what it sounds and looks like to be in here – birds singing in the trees high above, swans visiting through the window, and the odd city noise.<\/p>\n

Please enjoy…<\/p>\n

repost: soundscape series finale: living on a houseboat, part two – the end…<\/em><\/p>\n

well folks, this little sound project<\/a> has been alot of fun. There is certainly something special about looking at still images and listening to sound, isn’t there? It’s quite different to watching a moving picture. While I’ve been making these posts, I’ve been thinking – how would this differ if I used a video camera? It just wouldn’t be the same. It has taken me back to my Uni days<\/a> when I was studying time based art<\/a>, although then my focus was making short films with the now vintage technology of 16mm, however I did experiment a little with still images in film-style sequences and I really enjoyed it – so here I am again it seems, rekindling an old flame.<\/p>\n

If you have enjoyed this series do not fret, I will be back with more, albeit spontaneously, over the months to come – this week’s series was just a taste to see how you liked it & to see how it might work on the blog medium. And I think it is unanimous that we all love the idea, is that right? so I’ll be sure to keep it as a regular feature. I can think of so many wonderful soundscapes to capture – living in a foreign land, listening to foreign voices, befriending foreign water creatures… the creative possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n

But today, on our series finale, I thought you might like to hear what life sounds like for me on the houseboat. While part one<\/a> was a glimpse of life on the canal when it rains, this little piece captures the essence of my days here – I feel a bit like I am living on noah’s ark<\/a>, except that instead of the animals living on the boat, they live around the boat and come to visit me regularly. Can you believe this is in the middle of a city? I cannot.<\/p>\n

So come on in and follow me…<\/p>\n

Thank you everyone for visiting. It is such a pleasure to share my creative endeavors with you on a daily basis. You have become my muse. Thanks to you, who knows what I shall create next…<\/p>\n
