Art of Sound
Alice Disken
The Majority of the audio for my piece was recorded at St Aidans nature reserve and the segment of the River Aire as well as the Aire and Calder Navigation which runs next to it. I was intrigued by the interactions the water had with people and wildlife which i hope to have captured in the piece. The journeys the water has taken as well as its future ones also fascinated me. Some of the water recorded in the piece will have travelled under Crown Point Bridge itself. The workshop was one of my first times experimenting with the art of sound and it inspired me to use sound and water in someof the work I made during my art foundation course at Leeds Arts University which I have just finished.

Jamie Minto
Jamie is an Edinburgh-born graduate of the University of Leeds and has continued to live in the city soaking up the vast amount of culture it has to offer. He will be returning to work at The Wire club on Call Lane once COVID restrictions are eased and he regularly DJs around the city as well as putting on his own events to showcase local talent. For this project, he wanted to combine the rich history of Leeds underground club culture (especially that of the West Indian centre’s dub sound-system parties) with the sound of water. He wanted to translate the rhythm and timbre of water samples into the sounds of dark, late night venues found around the city.
Sol Collins
Hi, I’m Sol a Musician and Bassist currently studying Music at Calderdale College. I created this piece with Logic Pro X using several different water sounds recorded at home, at the park and beside the river. I built this up into a soundscape, overlaying the different effects on top of each other and then weaving them into the main melody to create a mood piece that I hope encapsulates the nature and feeling of water in movement. You can find more of my music on my Bandcamp:
Elle Money
I recorded the sound effects in my piece in a few areas across Leeds. I recorded the rain and wind outside my house in Hyde Park, the echoes of the water rushing in Granary Wharf and the Dark Arches, as well as the river outside behind Leeds station. I experimented with reverb and layering sounds on audacity to give the piece a cold, industrial feel as well as making it sound textured and visceral. I’m a performance designer and producer from Hull, currently working at Compass Live Art as a Young Producer.
Amelia Recci
I currently study Fine Art and the direction I’m moving towards is installation/film based. Sound is potentially one of the most organic forms of art and in an area i have always been too scared to experiment with due to my lack of understanding. But I must overcome this fear to progress my practise, In particular using soundscapes when displaying work is something I feel my work needs to do.Mordecai Weinberg
