LDAM Part 2

With the first part of the study into LIFE, DISINTEGRATION AND THE ABSENCE OF MATTER now complete, work into the second and final triptych in this series has now begun.The life section will this time consist of a new sonicarrangement of the late poet Charles Causley's poem "Mary, Mary Magdalene", with the good people of Launceston , the Cornish town in which Mr Causley taught and spent his life , providing the voices which will be assembledaccording to age from 0-100, in reading the poem as it progresses from childhood to old age. The installation will also contain a super-slow motion replay of each participants pebble tumbling toward the granite statue of Mary Magdaleneon the east wall of the church bearing her name, the tradition being, that any stone remaining lodged on her back will bring good fortune to the person who threw it.The DISINTEGTRATION section will again use time-lapse phonography to capture another 12 hours of audio events, this time from midnight till midday , and THE ABSENCE OF MATTER will again utilise film and real room reverberation in exciting and unexpected ways.
