Shima, The International Journal of Research into Island Cultures, Volume 5
Number 1 2011 contains an essay by Cathy Lane with links to the audio
pieces she composed as a result of the research she undertook:
“I
like to think of what I am trying to do as 'docu-music'...(which)
can be defined as works using sound materials which have recognisable
real world associations and roots...
The intention of docu-music is
to build up a sense of meaning, history and place through sonic
association in order to relate to the world outside the composition.”
Cathy's essay and accompanying compositions, 'Tweed' and 'On the Machair', provide an interesting read about (and artistic interpretation of) island culture.
