Mandy Rathbone, ivon oates, David Rogers and Joe Stevens have been collaborating for two years, sonically exploring architectural spaces, focusing on site-specific acoustic actions and field recording. Their raw material consists of sounds originating from materials found in-situ, and from interactions with the space. Recently metamedia have been exploring external spaces and have previously immersed themselves in the audio experience of Portland quarries and now Hooke Wood. Each recording in this podcast is a document of a specific moment in time in a specific location. The artists’ focus has been primarily on phonographies that reflect the spirit of place, its aura and resonance.
