Sound Portal Designer Stephen Philips said that the main inspiration for the design of the structure was Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey [1]. Coincidentally London College of Communication holds the Stanley Kubrick archive [2] and when combined with a love of sci-fi in general this seemed the perfect embarkation point for the sound artists’ sonic explorations.
Remembering Worlds builds on these influences and creates a journey in sound and space. The piece weaves together memories from the Kubrick Inner Circle oral history project [3] at the archive with more personal ones to the piece’s creators, intersected with sounds that primarily live in cultural imagination: those of alien landings, titan battles and human exploration.
The result is a playful narrative that comments on perceptions of imagining future and past, whilst folding these into the act of listening.
