Audible Silence: Jez Riley French at TEDxHull

Jez Riley French is fascinated and passionate about the infinite detail and expanding vistas of life around us, its sights and sounds, often overlooked or hidden. His creative output focuses on elements such as audible silence, active listening and stillness. Jez has been exploring his enjoyment of detail, simplicity and emotive response to places and situations for the past three decades using field recording, photography and intuitive composition. His artistic contribution is recognised the world over and his new audio work has just been commissioned by Tate Modern for installation during 2013.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

this was neat! looks like Jez also sells microphones, might as well support him. They're not that expensive.

The fence wire was interesting to think about the vibrations that it sends out and how other creatures feel/hear it often. Learn more about Schumann Resonance.- Earth vibration.
