CHATTOPADHYAY, BUDHADITYA - ELEGY FOR BANGALORE - EYE CONTACT WITH THE CITY (CD)

"The sound/video installation-project 'Eye Contact with the City' (recipient of an Honorary Mention at PRIX Ars Electronica 2011) was the outcome of an artists' residency in Bangalore in the autumn of 2010. The primary materials used in the installation were the field recordings made and video footage shot at various locations in Bangalore. Materials also included retrieved audio from old reel-to-reel tapes found at the city's flea markets. The extensive repository of field recordings and other audio materials eventually took the form of this elegiac composition during a subsequent artists' residency at the School of Music, Bangor University, in the summer-autumn of 2011."
