lyrics
'Between the Fields' is a piece composed for a dance performance.
The piece was commissioned by choreographer Park Jin Young as part of a residency project at Gyeongnam Art Creative Centre, Saengcho, South Korea. The recording features recorded sounds from the area and performative actions by Park Jin Young and Simon Whetham.
"For over a decade Simon Whetham has developed a practice of working with sound recordings as a raw material for composition and performance. These are often environmental sounds he has captured employing a variety of methods and techniques, in order to obtain discreet or obscured sonic phenomena. More recently, when presenting work in a performance or installation, for him the space and the objects within become instruments to be played.
