kom-pohst is a three part radio work commissioned by ABC RN’s Creative Audio Unit for Soundproof. Each part has been created from the mass of sonic material gathered by sixteen artists involvement in Active Crossover: Mooste, a collective residency held during April-May 2015.
Three composers, Simon Whetham, Eamon Sprod and myself have charted connections between our activities, intersected the common threads, and assembled them as a web of sonic interactions and experiences.
The notion of compost sits at the heart of the three works, conjuring ideas of decomposition and recomposition, and sound making as a material form and a living process.
The composting of these artifacts embraces a metaphorical transformation of debris, giving a voice to a unique collective archive, and presenting a set of sonic interpretations from the process of investigation and collaboration, of sharing experience and materials.
The work was commissioned by ABC RN’s Creative Audio Unit for Soundproof and was hosted by Miyuki Jokiranta.
