This article is an introduction to the work of electronic sound artist Scanner, which explores the place of memory, the cityscape and the relationship between the public and the private within contemporary sound art. Beginning with a historical look at his CD releases a decade ago, the article explores his move from his cellular phone works to his more collaborative digital projects in recent times. With descriptions of several significant performance works, public art commissions and film soundtrack work, the piece explores the resonances and meanings with the ever-changing digital landscape of a contemporary sound artist.

Sound Culture

This collection of essays explores the development of electronic sound recording in Japanese cinema, radio, and popular music to illuminate the interrelationship of aesthetics, technology, and cultural modernity in prewar Japan. Putting the cinema at the center of a ‘culture of the sound image’, it restores complexity to a media transition that is often described simply as slow and reluctant. In that vibrant sound culture, the talkie was introduced on the radio before it could be heard in the cinema, and pop music adaptations substituted for musicals even as cinema musicians and live narrators resisted the introduction of recorded sound. Taken together, the essays show that the development of sound technology shaped the economic structure of the film industry and its labour practices, the intermedial relation between cinema, radio, and popular music, as well as the architecture of cinemas and the visual style of individual Japanese films and filmmakers.

Abstract   This study aimed to better understand appropriate interventions aimed at reducing hospital ward noise and the subsequent impact this would have on inpatient experience. Service users consistently reported that noise pollution was the most detrimental factor in their recovery in hospital, principally due to its effects on sleep. Methods To aid usability and data collection the Richards- Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) was adapted into an electronic format with a sliding Likert scale using QuestionPro Software3. Qualitative patient interviews, the RCSQ and ward decibel measurements were recorded on Henry and Anne wards at St. Thomas’ Hospital, London. 20 patients were interviewed (12F, 8 M), with 3 being ultimately discounted due to severe cognitive impairment. Results were collated and will be presented as part of a pre-feasibility evaluation of the tools to measure patient sleep and experience of ward noise. Results: The mean of the responses from the 17 patients interviewed were calculated and graphically displayed. Of interest, 87.5% found the questionnaire straightforward to understand, but only 18.75% found it easy to complete (due to technological unfamiliarity). Conclusion and discussion Patients reported a consistently reported a less than optimal night’s sleep on the ward, with light sleep and increased time to fall asleep being key factors. Although visits were restricted to the “quietest” times on the ward, noise measurements consistently exceeded WHO recommendations of 40 dB. Subsequently excessive night-time noise created by other patients as well as staff was cited as the principal causes of poor sleep, with ward lighting being another cause. Results from this study have provided the justification for sound-masking technology to be trialled on inpatient wards, with the view of decreasing unpleasant ward noise and improving patient rest and recovery.

Compositional Practice

This article discusses the author’s visual music compositional practice in the context of similar work in this field. It specifically examines three pieces created between 2015 and 2017 that fused digital animation techniques with electronic sound. This approach contrasted with the author’s earlier compositions, which featured electroacoustic music and video concrète.
