Ian Findlay-Walsh: Producing the liminal: record production as research in contemporary listening
 
This presentation explores the creative practice of record production as a consequence of and response to everyday auditory experience. Through a discussion of recent works by the author and other related works in the field (Burial, Bjork, Massive Attack), as well as some recent related theory (Eno, Moylan, Voegelin, LaBelle), record production is proposed as a research practice through which relationships between aspects of everyday listening may be explored and re-presented. These include relationships between real and virtual aural environments, sound production and reception, self-narrative and subjecthood. My work, which draws on record production, phonography and autoethnography, is focussed around making records which reframe the activities and subject-positions of listeners. Layered self-narratives are developed through a reflexive approach to recording, producing and releasing, and these open up productive ambiguities between recordist, producer and listener roles. These ambiguities and the wider enquiry are left open for consideration and engagement by subsequent listeners. Through the discussion of this work, this presentation reflects on listening as a mode of perception which 'grants me insight into the process of my place' (Voegelin, 2010). The practice and works discussed are considered and explored as embodied research into the liminal spaces of contemporary listening and music reception.
