An audio installation by Jon Aveyard presented at the Convivencia Symposium. This acousmatic piece was edited together from 46 extracts, each between 30 and 90 seconds long, of the interdisciplinary performance group theybreakinpieces improvising in the recording studio. The three members of the group wore in-ear binaural microphones so that the recordings captured the improvisations from the performers’ subjective points-of-audition. The piece has been diffused over multi-speaker sound systems but is best heard over headphones to appreciate the binaural recordings.

theybreakinpieces are three artists (mona mccarthy, paul stapleton and nick williams) who are involved in multiple forms of cross-disciplinary collaboration. we are currently investigating a range of environmental interactions conducted through the media of conversation, improvised performance, and audio-visual recording technologies. these interventions take place in a wide range of urban and rural environments providing opportunities to explore the collision of localized academic, social and geographical settings. we have received multiple grants from the arts council of england and other funding bodies for activities that include the creation of site-specific durational performances and performative lectures, as well as the delivery of workshops and symposiums on collaborative live arts practices.
