EAMON SPROD:
Working with sound borrowed from urban spaces Australian sound artist eamon sprod/TARAB pursues what might be called an anti-naturalist field recording practice. Fragmenting and re-contextualising the audio material he forages and collects to shape oblique narratives, false leads and listening spaces from within the everyday. Purposefully working with the sonic material he finds at hand to hear and see what might happen when things are drawn together and pulled apart. Sound is often introduced to space through the use of simple means. Discarded household items or physical elements of rooms are transformed into unique speakers or percussive sound generators. In turn, speakers are encouraged to move beyond their role as replicators of pre-existing sounds, instead to act as sounding things in themselves.
Working previously as TARAB, Eamon Sprod has presented performances and installations within Australia, Europe, Japan, Korea, North and South America; participating in festivals including Liquid Architecture (AU); Activating The Medium (US); Observatorie (ES); Bogong: Electric (AU); Tsonami Festival de Arte Sonore (CL); Amplify 2020: Quarantine (US/Online); and the Lausanne Underground Film Festival (CH).
Eamon Sprod/TARAB’s compositions have been published by labels including Naturestrip (AU); 23five (US); Kaon (FR ); Semperflorens (RU); Unfathomless (BE); Cronica (PT), solo and with Artificial Memory Trace; Aposiopese (FR/BE); Swarming (FR) with Eric La Casa; Hemisphäreの空虚 (AU); F E R N S recordings (FR); and multiple works on his sonicrubbish micro-imprint formed in 2018. His first solo release under his own name is coming later this year on Aposiopese (FR/BE).
