Noise at Gordon Mansions

In this building there are so many people living in such close proximity and we rarely talk to each,never look into each others eyes, despite living so intimately. The light well carries sounds so that it’s possible to know when my neighbours are vomiting, playing, orgasming, fighting…. I enter into the soundscape when I return home at night the weight of my footfalls locating me spatially in the three dimensional net of sound. I began to really listen, to familiarise myself with the sounds – different sounds for day and night. Water falling from an outlet on the fourth floor, two pint glasses clinking together on the top of a washing machine in it’s spin cycle, a mother mimicking her baby’s first vowel sounds and one day the sound of a saxophone. Very shaky, early days scales and an attempt at the girl from ipameama the most textured and voluptuous sound to date.
