We’ve had to delay Adventures in Audio, but our summer-activity cup runneth over

We’re still listening out for your audio postcards

The bad news is that we’ve had to delay our September First Friday, ‘Adventures in Audio’ (AiA), scheduled for 7 September. We’ve given the artist, Sam Thomas more time to produce a bigger and better event later in the year.

But we still want to hear from you if you have any memory-rich audio recordings of places or things. Send them toinfo@marinestudios.co.uk and put ‘AiA’ in the subject line.

If you want to get a feel for just how evocative sounds can be visit theMuseum of Endangered Sounds – the sci-fi warble of the 80s modem is the current studio favourite.

Two events in August and September: Open Studios andreCyculture

The good news is that we have two other events on in August and September:

• We’re an Open Studios venue for RamsgateArts’ A Summer Squallfestival. You can meet five Thanet artists in our studio between 11.00am and 4.00pm on Saturdays 18/19/25/26/27 August. See programme here.

• reCyculture will make an intervention on our balcony next week in time for the beginning of September. reCyculture is a project that will explore physical and virtual installations inspired by, and created with, local communities across Kent in response to the county’s hosting of the Paralympic Cycling Events in September 2012. Find out more about reCyculture here.

Listen up. Get an audible sense of place at September’s First Friday, ‘Adventures in audio’

What was that? Did you hear it? Well, no, you probably weren’t listening. Most of us are so caught up in the visual that we often miss the sound of a place or significant event.

Not so for Sam Thomas and others who record the sound of special places and events. At our September First Friday (7 September) Sam will show us how the sound of a place can be as evocative – or even more evocative – than a photograph.

As ever, we’re keen to involve others. So if you have any audio recordings of special significance get in touch via info@marinestudios.co.uk
