Heatwave, by Kate Carr

Heatwave

by Kate Carr

supported by

abdonoval This is one of my favourite field recording records. Such evocative soundscapes, strikingly reminiscent of the awfully confusing days in London last summer.

Michael Upton (Jet Jaguar) A great lesson in how to make music from field recordings, and the backstory of course adds another layer of interest. Great stuff from start to finish. Favorite track: Your Summer Can Now Grow My Plants.

about

This year London has experienced several weekends of the hottest summer and that moved the Australian sound artist Kate Carr, whose practice is centred on articulating the relationship between people and place through sound, to point her microphone at the city. This volume is based on her recordings during a particularly hot long weekend in a corner of very busy intersection in London, where she resides now. In Heatwave, Carr is interested in both the serious and also the more prosaic aspects of soundscapes related to climate change. She investigated the throbbing summer music from her neighborhood, people’s efforts to keep cool, and the uneasiness which accompanies these everyday activities in this moment of environmental crisis. The way these pieces construct and compensate, with all the tangible sounds that fold into larger moods via multiple instruments, exemplifies her acumen in creating sonic stories that reflect our multi-layered experience of reality.

There is this feeling of a breath that can stop at any moment without knowing when. Everything becomes fragile and uncertain. Very interesting symbiosis between the instruments which seem to be one. Beautifully recorded. sylvain-levier
