When creating a sound piece I cut up the interview, removing my voice, largely. I then overlapped their individual interview answers or voice note clips. The result when listening, you can hear several answers being given at once by one woman, creating a cacophony of voice. The sounds then quiet and you are left with one singular snippet of voice to hear. By overlapping elements of their answers their personal stories are slightly obscured. This has been done, with the midset of the ethical consideration of these works being available to the public. Giving these women an element of anonymity while still being able to eavesdrop in on their thoughts and feelings. These works explore idea’s around conversation, ‘reinactment, recitation, reimagining’ (p131 A Time Of Ones Own) I see these women, their stories, and the sound works I created as a feminist chorus.
