Yarcade by Bowditch

A sound installation commissioned for Yarmonics 2018 a festival of sonic art and new music celebrating the sounds people and places of Great Yarmouth.

A collage made from unprocessed and processed field recordings made inside Yarmouth amusement arcades during 2018.

Thanks to a wide variety of holiday makers and seasonal workers who generously agreed for their leisure activities to be recorded and David Perry the ‘Puppet Man’ from whose performance MIDI data was extracted to trigger Max for Live patches.

Stuart’s work is inspired by location and the people, experiences and objects he encounters there. He is particularly interested in sounds that are associated with place, overlooked and overheard noises of the everyday and highlighting the auditory as a defining factor in how we experience environment - art installations, phone apps, archival records, music, sound tracks to short films.
