An engaging sound collage presenting an unique historical documentation of Sound Art from the early 20th century to present day. The composition weaves through different sound works throughout the century with narratives and ideas from some of the prominent artists in the field. A retrospective into the craft of sound and its development as an artistic practice, from Edison’s first sound film in 1895 to today, including the thoughts and concepts which served the basis for the creation of these works as spoken by the artists themselves.​
The ‘Listening’ should be accompanied with the booklet available above that informs of the artists whose work and words are heard according to the timecode on the video.
Commissioned by Newtoy for the 2011 UK tour of Wet Sounds.

A HISTORY OF SOUND COLLAGE
UNTIL 1969
60min
FROM 1970
45min
Podcasts surveying the history of sound collage since the begining.​
The program mentions three types of sound collages which have branched off since the late 50s.
[] Sequential sound collage that uses an editing technique that is not dissimilar to film editing technique which later developed to Electroacoustic and Acousmatic music. (most Musique Concréte, cut ups, Negativland, Cassetteboy etc)
[] Augmented sound collage that augments a particular rhythm, musical and narrative theme (some hip hop, bastard pop, 2manyDJs, dancefloor mash ups, most music that has elements of sound collage)
[] Simultaneous sound collage which superimposes layers of different musical sources over each other.
​
The last category is the one this podcast focuses on for the latter half of the 20th Century until today.
​

​
Charles Ives, Tristan Tzara, John Cage, Pierre Henry, Nam June Paik, Stockhausen, Parmegianni, The Beatles, Timothy Leary and Ash Ra, Pink Floyd, The Residents, Christian Marclay, Wim Wenders, Hirsche Nicht Aufs Sofa, John Oswald, Marilyn Manson, Lionel Marchetti, Calibri Necrophile, Henri Pousseur, Joseph Hammer and Joel Cahen.​
