broadcasts, participatory projects and publications. Irvine’s work ranges from carefully crafted
individual pieces for gallery spaces to the creation of platforms, inviting others to participate.
Recent sound work includes ‘Radio 101’ an installation work and FM radio station exploring
the legacy of the 1930 R101 airship and ‘Travels Together’ a radiophonic work following in the footsteps of a Slovenian writer and adventurer from the 1920’s. Recent participatory projects include ‘Magnetic Migration Music’ (www.magneticmigration.net) a found sound project which continues to hunt down fragments of audio cassette tape to re-spool and sample and ‘Dial-a-Diva’ a global telephonic singing event.

Dial-a-Diva:
call +44 (0) 1452 583 087 to listen to concerts all over the world for
24hrs
08:00 hrs GMT 3rd December – 08:00 hrs 4th December 2005
Dial-a-Diva is an event spanning the globe for 24 hours, connecting
singers and listeners live by telephone. The project is inspired by a
period in history when the telephone was the first broadcasting medium for
entertainment. From the 1880s to 1920s phone companies in many countries
including France, Britain, Hungary and America set up subscription
services connecting opera houses and theatres to a remote audience,
listening via the telephone network. Dial-a-diva serves a similar
function, but reflects today’s global telecommunications and social
networks.
The event will start at 08:00 GMT on December 3rd in time for evening
concerts in New Zealand and Australia. Then as time moves on, concerts
will begin throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and ending
with the Americas, 24 hours later. An installation at CCA, Glasgow,
Scotland invites visitors to view the hub of operations throughout the
project.
see www.dialadiva.net for more information and on how to take part as a
performer.
Santos-Dumont:
A live audio work by Zoë Irvine and guests
The audio piece reflects on aspects of the life and achievements of
Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. An aristocrat and inventor, moved
to Paris at the turn of the last century where he carried out his
principal inventions. He was the first man to fly around the Eiffel Tower
in an airship. He never patented his inventions, having an open source
approach and was a pacifist. He hung himself in Brazil in July 1932 using
a silk neck-tie of the sort he used to throw to adoring crowds. He did
this after aeroplanes were used to drop bombs on Sao Paulo because he felt
personally implicated in the technology that was being used for such
disastrous ends.
It will be performed as part of CAPTURED at the National Review of Live
Art at the Tramway in Glasgow and a recording released by 7 Things
(www.seventhings.co.uk) in spring 2006
