GOLDCREST SOUNDSPELLBackground image: Goldcrest sound map, Rachel Henson, Higher Close, May 2023
I make the song my point-of-contact, find a slowed-down version and test notes on the penny-whistle. The sonogram thinks I’m a crow! I feel silly playing to the birds but do it anyway. I ask Ellen to dance the sound and Veronica to mark-make to it.
What more do we learn about the song by moving, painting, playing it? What’s the difference between 'becoming with' and 'watching'? How do I know what Goldcrest hears? |
