Abstract
Ros Bandt
Raptor 2014
sound installation
6 channels, 15 mins 20 secs RMIT University Art Collection, Sonic Arts Collection
Ros Bandt is a widely acclaimed, award-winning sound artist and composer who has pioneered acoustic art, site-specific sound installations, electro-acoustic symphonies and sonic archaeologies on four continents. She has a PhD in musicology and has won the Melbourne University Excellence for Research award for her book Sound Sculpture and founding The Australian Sound Design Project, documenting sound designs in public space in Australia. Her awards include the inaugural Benjamin Cohen Fellowship for Innovation, USA, the Sound Art Australia Prize, the NFSA Award for Sound Heritage and the Don Banks Music Award. Recently Bandt was awarded an Australia Council Fellowship in the Experimental and Emerging art form, and the Richard Gill Award for Distinguished Services to Australian Music. Bandt’s soundings of unique places and environments include the world heritage sites of the Yerebatan Cistern, Turkey; Lake Mungo, Australia; Ggantija, Malta; and many ancient sites and amphitheatres in the Aegean.
Raptor (2014) is an investigation of the flight of the Golden Eagle over the Joshua Tree Biosphere in California, using granulated, stretched eagle calls to represent the orientation of the eagle looking down over the land. This is contrasted with the harmonic drones of a bowed tarhu, creating a moving point through which the audience can share the dynamic movement of the bird in flight.
