Static FM (part of doing together 24)

Static FM

Workshop with Keith Harrison, Jerome Harrington and Karen Richmond as part of doing together 24

Thursday 4 April 2024

Static FM, delivered by Keith Harrison, Jerome Harrington and Karen Richmond, considers the inherently intangible materiality of an analogue transmission in relation to the physical activity of ‘tuning in’ and how this embodies the offer of something from nothing. In this all day session, a temporary makeshift recording booth was created with a focus on making, materiality and sound, utilising Static FM station recording equipment. The session consisted of an invitation to all participants and facilitators to take time out to make an audio response to a set of printed questions around materiality and making. With permission the recordings will become content for the first wave of transmissions on Static FM as a planned campus radio station based at Locksbrook Road.

doing together 24
doing together is a yearly two-day making and sharing practice symposium at Locksbrook Campus, hosted by the Centre for Cultural and Creative Industries in collaboration with Bath School of Art, Film and Media and Bath School of Music and Performing Arts.

Workshops, delivered by staff and postgraduate students from across the University, share practice-based research methods and a broad range of approaches to practice. doing together is proposed as a generous space to make/do/share and discuss practice with colleagues from a range of different Schools.

Throughout the symposium, facilitators – alongside participants – test out ways of doing together in an effort to make their practice-based research explicit, rather than simply describe it.
