Attack Decay Sustain Release presents a series of experimental artist residencies that explore the ways that sound can play distinct roles within artistic production.
The phrase Attack Decay Sustain Release (ADSR) is used in sound production to denote the four phases of a sound envelope, in terms of its volume and strength over time.
Over the course of this ten week residency programme, Sophie Huckfield, Nnena Kalu & Rebecca Kressley (Super Trouper), and Abbas Zahedi, will each occupy the Stanley Picker Gallery’s various spaces, to explore how sound is employed within, and influences upon, their individual artistic practices; whether as a primary medium in itself, as a by-product of creative production, or as a soundtrack to the act of making.
Super Trouper is an evolving project organised by curator-researcher and Kingston School of Art PhD candidate Lisa Slominski, and is supported by ActionSpace.
Audiences are invited to visit during the listed residency days, when the artists are working on site, and visit on the days between to hear, see and experience the works in their various stages of development. The artists’ works will accumulate in the spaces, both physically and sonically, layered over their alternate weeks in residence, culminating in a combined finale to conclude the programme.
Throughout the programme the gallery will invite research staff and students from across Kingston School of Art, to present their own ideas and experiments in sound in response to the themes of ADSR.
More information and residency schedule available soon.
