Track Title_ General Electric 5m0s
General Electric inhabits the space between the known and the unknown in which knowledge and conjecture is blurred. The electric fence is normally associated with incarceration, an apparatus of subjugation and control. It can also be used to suppress the fear of encroachment of strange and mysterious forces. The line that demarcates power and powerlessness, knowledge and the other, and the alternating forces contesting control of territory is the focus of this composition.
About Audible Geography
Geography is an ongoing force shaping our understandings of the environments around us and, in turn, experiences ongoing transformation and development. Considering not only the natural world, but also culture, economy and politics in diverse settings and across many scales, contemporary geography acts as a glue - integrating disparate research streams and continuing to provide insights into our relations with space and place. On Audible Geography, 11 sound artists were asked to consider the scope of geography today. The results are as varied as they are intriguing. The final edition is offered as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Australian Geographers.
