Sound House - Stereo Reduction by Cameron Naylor published on 2022-04-30T11:20:14Z The invention of the tape machine changed the landscape of music making forever. From the sound of air raid sirens to the church bells of Coventry, Delia Derbyshire exploited the new capabilities of audio manipulation to recycle and recontextualise the sound of everyday life, in doing so unpacking her most salient memories, and instilling her works with a sense of childlike wonder. In an age removed from analogue music making, Sound House aims to reclaim the tape machine as a token of a time of intense auditory development, using this premier radiophonic instrument as the material with which to interrogate the dual malleability of both medium and memory.
