The concepts of isolation û in social, geographic and virtual settings have spawned various creative
investigations over the centuries. Guided by the philosophical premise of social theorists such as Zygmunt
Bauman, Room40 and the University Of Tasmania collaborated in the curation of a series of sound
artworks, found sound pieces and musical interjections spurred on by the notion of æisolationÆ.
The results of the contributions vary widely but all meditate on the states of being alone or in situations
whereby you are disconnected from familiar codes, social spaces and protocols.
These recordings were made in response to a call to interpret senses of disconnection, isolation and
solitude. The cd was provided to delegates attending a conference in Hobart in 2006 at the University of
Tasmania to help awaken a deep imagination and engagement with these matters. The meeting, set up as
an antidote to dominant discourses of globalism, seamless connectivity and information flows, provided a
space to discuss both the despair and enchantments that might be contained within numerous fractured
spaces, unknown remaining landscapes and social constellations.
The disc features new works from: Stephen Vitiello, Steinbrⁿchel, David Toop, Dale Lloyd, Richard
Chartier, For Barry Ray, Scanner, Jeph Jerman, Sebastien Roux, Zane Trow, Janek Schaefer, Ben Owen,
Richard Francis and Nest, Ben Frost and Greg Davis.
Curated by Lawrence English. Package design by Richard Chartier.
