Eamon Sprod
MFA (Research) candidate Eamon Sprod’s sound project TARAB has recently had new works published:
APOPHENIA
Released on his own micro-label SONICRUBBISH
In making APOPHENIA I borrowed sounds made by people and some by things; some sounds I initiated myself. All sounds collected 2012–19. Arranged and de-arranged 2016–19. Elements of this piece first appeared on the Aposiopèse compilation VIII. Sounds were then borrowed, discarded and re-arranged into a mix for the Ears Have Ears radio program (RIP). Further additions and subtractions were made, and over time it all de-arranged into the form it is in here. Thank you: air conditioning units, bicarb soda, malfunctioning white goods, alleyways, constructions sites, trains, escalators, plastic bags, hollow vessels, floor boards and empty rooms.
