Starmaker (dual medium format slide/audio installation) entangles the realms of natural and cultural history and science fiction so that we can appreciate the oddities of both. A medium format slideshow of images – including dioramas in the American Museum of Natural History, rose farming in Ecuador, Dutch tulip fields, container ships and the coastline of the UK – is accompanied by field recordings and electronic sounds sampled from sci-fi movies. A version of the soundtrack to Starmaker can be listened to online. By Heather & Ivan Morison.
A further project is a 80 minute sound work for outdoor speakers Birds of North West Ecuador a collection of announced recordings of all the birds that Ivan spotted whilst birdwatching in the cloud forests of Ecuador.
Stuffed birds play records by putting their beak into the groove.
»loop/loop« is a recordplayer that changes its pitch depending on the walking speed.
In the instalation »in honour of a new affair«, a needle is installed above each recordplayer that connects the vinyl with the large pieces of paper. The sound of the records are being transported to the paper and the paper makes it audible. The needle constantly changes its position, due to the wind. All three projects by Jeroen Diepenmaat.
