  • Winter Diary Revisited by Claude Schryer - Making Waves

    Winter Diary Revisited by Claude Schryer - Making Waves
    Feb 12 2022
    Winter Diary Revisited, a new work by Claude Schryer, was the first presentation of the 2022 Deep Wireless Festival of Radio and Transmission Art which took place on Sunday February 6th at the new NAISA North Media Arts Centre, a building recently purchased by New Adventures in Sound Art. This radio documentary is a tribute to R. Murray Schafer who passed away in August 2021. Schafer’s writing and the research undertaken with the World Soundscape Project were foundational to the development of the field of acoustic ecology. Schryer goes back to Schafer’s diaries that he was keeping in the late 1990’s when the two worked together on the production of A Winter Diary which was created for WDR Köln. Schryer's documentary also forms episode 99 of his Conscient podcast series and includes the voice of Canadian poet Robin Mathews reading Schafer’s words.

  • Slow Observational Film with Ben Donoghue - Making Waves

    Slow Observational Film with Ben Donoghue - Making Waves
    Dec 11 2021
    This month's episode features Ben Donoghue and his 16mm film Pierre Radisson: Fjord and Gulf from 2017, which has recently been adapted for digital presentation available online at https://www.naisa.ca/ until December 20th. The film presents the daily activity and environment of the ship’s work on the Saguenay Fjord and Gulf of St. Lawrence in Quebec, providing a window into a portion of the invisible labour that underpins the Canadian economy. The film also brings the deep winter landscapes of coastal Quebec into dialogue with intensive industrial activity of ore shipments from the mines of the Saguenay - Lac Saint-Jean region. Shot in Super 16 milllimetre with a two-person crew of director/cinematographer Ben Donoghue and location sound recordist Noé Rodriguez the film embraces context, giving duration and breath to the images and sounds of the journey. Through a slow observational form, the film brings the viewer onto the ship and into the journey. The form of the film intentionally avoids narration and can be thought of a landscape painting unfolding in time.

  • Julia White and Laurel MacDonald - Making Waves

    Julia White and Laurel MacDonald - Making Waves
    Oct 9 2021
    Today’s episode features discussions with visual artist Julia White and singer-composer-video artist Laurel MacDonald. Both artists are from NAISA’s SOUNDplay festival. Julia White uses sound recordings of creaks and other small water ways in her exhibition called WATER Shadows. The subject of water weaves through different aspects of this work, which is also informed by her practice in deep listening. Laurel MacDonald’s artistic development began in both visual arts and music. After establishing herself as a vocalist and composer she began creating video works combining abstract imagery with her vocal music. Her conversation with host Darren Copeland focuses on her latest audio-visual piece called "I Eat the Stars" which explores the poetry of astronomer Rebecca Elson and will be performed on Nov 6. Visit naisa.ca to learn more about both of these artists.
