Hermit's Song

Original Copy is a project that explores the translation of visual material into sound, text and musical notation. Visual input is generated by a combination of bespoke mechanical devices as well as video footage and material recordings/documentation made on specific site visits. Material generated by the project has taken the form of short film works, a collection of audio releases, installations in exhibitions and live performances. The project is a collaboration between Bristol based Riccardo Carbone & London based John Strutton

The Hermit's Song was an installation and live performance in Newtown Castle, in the Burren, Ireland. The film is part of an ongoing collaboration with the Burren College of Art exploring the Burren landscape, and documents the installation and performance in the castle in 2025.

Max was used for audio soundscape creation, text creation for live dialogue/spoken word, and interfacing with an arduino controller embedded in an old stick!
