For the Listening Party, Hannan’s commissioned sonic landscape Blue Grey Haze will take an improvised approach.
The piece centres sound in and around the locked groove ∞, which serves as a rhythmic foundation that unfolds progressively and cyclically returns. Blue Grey Haze underpins compositions, poems and research elements, field recordings, and collected audio materials that undergo deliberate sonic shifts, amplifying the sense of constellations whilst sitting in a state of flux bound by the locked groove.
Initially, through her broadcast on Clyde Built Radio in June, Hannan explored Scannell’s concept of “the doubling of place”, the notion that radio listeners occupy two places simultaneously—the physical place where the event unfolds and the subjective place where they engage with the listening experience––embracing a non-linear approach, sitting with time as a fluid and subjective entity.
In this live setting, Hannan will work with samples, speech and delay, expanding noisily on the concept of the locked groove as a cyclical return, the abstraction of sound, oscillating currents between the personal and political, and the technical instrument: the radio.
