From 14th – 18th July Phill Harding’s ‘house’ (2000-2005) inhabits The Drawing Shed. An immersive sound installation constructed from simple yet meticulously-staged domestic soundscapes, ‘house’ invites the listener to submerge themselves in this resonant acoustic world.
Recorded in houses devoid of human presence, the material focuses on the internal workings of the house – the sounds of the house itself (and some of its non-human occupants). The ‘little’ sounds we constantly filter out of our awareness, sounds usually practically inaudable to us, are magnified heightening the ‘inconsequential’ and taking us into a dark emotional as well as architectural terrain.
Phill Harding is a sonic artist based in the Pennine hills of West Yorkshire. Much of his current work involves the use of untreated (raw) location field recordings, with particular emphasis on the places we inhabit and the multiple resonances of architectural space.
House was first shown as part of the Illuminate Festival, Bradford, October 2005 with source material originally gathered as part of a collaborative project with mixed-media artist Edward Mortimer in autumn 2000.
