Sonia Leber, and David Chesworth won the competition to design a piece of public art for the forest at the Olympic site in Sydney A 4.5 hectare eucalypt forest is to be planted at the back of the giant Olympic Stadium and the neighbouring infoor arena at Homebush May. But it won't be the patchwork of colours that will surprise visitors walking among the trees, it will be the sounds that emerge from them. The Olympic Coordination Authority has just commissioned two Melbourne - based artists to create a "sound scape of the noises of human effort" within the trees. The artists David Chesworth and his partner Sonia leber, won a competition from four other teams of invited artists, to design a piece of public art for the forest. Chesworth and Leber describe their concept as "hearing only fragments of voices: stressing, straining, singing in laughter and a striving. The soundscape will incorporate a spectrum of moods heard as short voice fragments to become a chorus of voices held in suspension throughout the Urban Forest." A member of the Public Art Advisory Panel, Ms Wendy McCarthy, said that David Chesworth is "a very significant composer" who had about 20 years of doing this sort of work and was writing several major pieces of music. According to Chesworth, the only sounds to be used in the work will be of human voices, and the sounds of human effort in particular. While he and Leber have done similar works, he is not aware of anyone else using only the human voice for the sounds. "It will be a kind of like a song, kind of a musical experience, if we can get a fragment of Luciano Pavarotti in there we will" he said. Over coming months he and his partner will record the sounds for the work on various Olympic sites around the world, sometimes using microphones attached to workers to record sounds digitaly that will be stored in a computer.  |
