Ep. 6 S̶t̶a̶r̶ Sound Wars with Dr Linda O'Keeffe
Happy May the Fourth!
In this episode, we're speaking with Linda O'Keeffe, a sound artist and head of the School of Art at Edinburgh College of Art. Her work on gender inclusion in the sonic arts has led to the development of the organisation Women In Sound, Women On Sound, whose goal is to make visible women who work in the multitudinous areas of sound - from music technology to sound art, sound & society, the politics of sound, and every are in between.
Today we'll talk with Linda about her journey in sound, her research on the under-examined cultural and acoustic impacts of renewable energy sources, and her latest album, titled 'Silent Spring' which focuses on the new sounds associated with renewable energy.
