Fonema by Stuart Bowditch
This work comprises 8 pieces that were made entirely from sounds recorded in Barreiro, Portugal in November 2022, and named after the location where they were captured and mapped on What3Words.
The audio forms the sonic part of a sound installation that Stuart made as part of the Territory expo that was curated by PADA Studios and Sluice Magazine. The physical part of the work was made from a found, and locally made, water flume segment, that was converted into a speaker through which the sound was played, using an amplifier and two transducers.

Stuart’s work is inspired by location and the people, experiences and objects he encounters there. He is particularly interested in sounds that are associated with place, overlooked and overheard noises of the everyday and highlighting the auditory as a defining factor in how we experience environment - art installations, phone apps, archival records, music, sound tracks to short films.
