    3' grezzi Ep. 475 Passeggiata sonora

    3' grezzi Ep. 475 Passeggiata sonora
    In un paesino a 40 Km da Cagliari, un gruppo di liceali in un giardinetto inondato dal sole, in attento ascolto della vita che succede attorno, carta e penna alla mano, annotano i rumori.

    TRASCRIZIONE [ENG translation below]
    Proseguono i miei esperimenti dalla cucina mentre faccio colazione e oggi registro usando delle cuffie binaurali, penso che siano della Sony, no Sennheiser. Sto usando il cellulare e sto registrando contemporaneamente con queste cuffie che dovrebbero far sentire il rumore davanti e dietro, vediamo un po', battiamo le mani alla mia destra [CLAP], se avete le cuffie avreste dovuto sentire il rumore viene da destra.

    Comunque, non è di questo che volevo parlare, ma volevo parlarvi del corso di podcast che sto insegnando a un gruppo di liceali in questo liceo che è in un paesino della Sardegna, a una quarantina di chilometri dal posto dove sto io, questo significa che devo spostarmi, è per me un po' un dramma, insomma, mi occupa molta energia mentale fare questi circa 40 chilometri per andare e 40 chilometri per tornare, arrivo a casa poi che sono abbastanza, abbastanza distrutta.

    L'ultima lezione che ho fatto, abbiamo fatto una cosa molto carina, cioè ho fatto fare alle ragazze - sono quasi tutte ragazze - alcuni esercizi di ascolto concentrato: ho fatto sentire prima di tutto in classe dei rumori e ho dato poi delle chiavi, dei piccoli disegni ho fatto vedere degli esempi su come possono annotare sulla carta i rumori, quindi, che ne so un cane che abbaia, una linea spezzata, il rumore delle onde, una linea ondulata, un'esplosione, una cosa che sembra appunto una cosa che esplode, un asterisco.

    Comunque, ho dato alle ragazze alcuni suggerimenti, una decina di questi simboli che così potessero cominciare a prendere dimestichezza con la notazione dei suoni, e poi le ho portate in un minuscolo, in una mini camminata sonora, una decina di minuti, un quarto d'ora, che è cominciata quando siamo uscite dalla classe. Infatti io ho raccomandato non parlate tra di voi e segnate tutti i rumori così come li sentite, man mano che abbandoniamo l'ambiente interno e andiamo in quello esterno.

    E una volta fuori poi ci siamo seduti nel giardinetto della scuola e insieme abbiamo ascoltato i rumori. Ed è stato molto bello, a parte che era una bellissima, una splendida giornata di sole, a parte quello, uccellini eccetera, ma è stato poi molto bello quello che ci siamo raccontate, quello che mi hanno raccontato una volta rientrate dentro. Lì, in quel paese loro ci sono nate, in quella scuola ci vanno da anni ormai e però mi hanno detto che è stata una bellissima esperienza e che effettivamente hanno sentito lo spazio in modo diverso. Eh, niente. Sono soddisfazioni.

    TRANSLATION
    I continue my experiments from the kitchen while having breakfast, and today I record using binaural headphones, I think they are from Sony, no Sennheiser. I'm using my cell phone and I'm recording at the same time with these headphones that are supposed to make the noise in the front and the back, let's see, let's clap my hands to my right [CLAP], if you have headphones you should have heard the noise is coming from the right.

    Anyway , that's not what I wanted to talk about, but I wanted to talk about the podcast course that I'm teaching to a group of high schoolers in this high school which is in a small town in Sardinia, about forty kilometers from where I'm staying, that means I have to drive, it's a bit of a drama for me, I mean, it takes up a lot of mental energy to drive these about 40Km to go and 40Km to come back, I get home then that I'm pretty, pretty exausted.

    In our last lesson, we did a very nice thing, that is, I had the girls -- they are almost all girls -- do some concentrated listening exercises: I had the class first hear some noises and then I gave them keys, small drawings I showed them examples on how they can note down on paper the sounds, so, eg a dog barking, a broken line, the sound of waves, a wavy line, an explosion, something that looks just like an exploding thing, an asterisk.

    Anyway, I gave the girls some hints, about ten of these symbols that so they could start to become familiar with the notation of sounds, and then I took them on a mini, on a mini sound walk, about ten minutes, a quarter of an hour, which started when we left the classroom. In fact I recommended don't talk to each other and mark all the noises as you hear them, as we leave the indoor environment and go to the outdoor environment.

    And once outside then we sat in the little school garden and together we listened to the noises. And it was very nice, apart from the fact that it was a beautiful, a beautiful sunny day, apart from that, birds and so on, but it was then very nice what we told each other, what they told me once we got back inside. There, in that village they were born there, they have been going to that school for years now and yet they told me that it was a beautiful experience and that they actually felt the space in a different way. Eh, nothing. These are satisfactions.

    Avant-folk producer Fiona Soe Paing is a Scottish vocalist and sound artist. Combining multi-layered vocals with dark electronica, field recordings, archive material and traditional instruments, her music creates atmospheric and often unsettling songscapes.

    Sand, Silt, Flint (released November 2022) is Fiona's second solo album, a re-imagining of folk tales and traditional ballads from North East Scotland. Sense of place is an important factor. Fiona has made the innovative step of linking each song to a specific location creating a virtual ‘Ballad Map' where the album is presented as a series of sound-walks via the Echoes phone app. The audio is triggered by GPS, enabling audiences to experience the music in the environments which provided it's inspiration.

    The following songs from Sand, Silt, Flint are featured in this podcast:
    1 Bessie Bell
    2 Bonny Udny
    3 Forvie
    4 Ballad of John Hosie
