Hearsay Robin Parmar
from CMCIreland Hosted by CMCIreland
The inaugural Hearsay International Audio Arts Festival took place in Kilfinane, Co. Limerick over three days from November 21st-23rd last. Sound Artists, Composers, Sound Designers, Radio Producers, Field Recordists and a host of audio enthusiasts and practitioners from across the globe took over this village in the Ballyhoura Mountains for three days of performance, discussion, storytelling, listening and more. The festival utilised an eclectic mix of venues including the local, school, church, library and even the parish priests' sitting room (where the host treated his guests to heart warming hot whiskeys)! CMC spoke to some of the composers present and in the below interviews we hear from field recordist, sound artist and soundscape composer Susanna Caprara, aka La Cosa Preziosa about her practice and inspirations. Rachel Ní Chuinn tells us about her compositional practice and radio work and the lack of barriers between each while Robin Parmar discusses the importance of place and its reconstruction in his electroacoustic compositions and improvisations. Maay thanks to each artist for their time.
