Fermynwoods Podcast 10 - Lucie McLaughlin

Artist Lucie McLaughlin mines her everyday for sounds in the three-part audio work Clickety-Clack. In this work, we can hear the sound of seagulls, a printer dancing, music leaked through walls, the quiet rabble of voices outside a pub and the purr of a washing machine. In the form of a triptych of sound works, Clickety-Clack comprises field recording and constructed narrative sequences. Here, the material of listening is loose footed, both aware of its construction and interrupted by words. Perspectives on familiar or often overlooked sound are shifted into condensed spaces to reveal an aural poetics in movement, whilst the words performed ask questions of the spaces we’re in or are hearing. This episode of the Fermynwoods Podcast is supported by Arts Council England and by a grant from Localgiving and Postcode Places Trust, a grant-giving charity funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Clickety-Clack was originally commissioned as part of URGENCIES at CCA Derry~Londonderry, a project supported by Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Derry City & Strabane District Council.
