Original idea and installation from Celie Byrne and Pearl Kinnear

 Originally installed as part of Occupied Territories, Occupied Thoughts, Dunoon Burgh Hall, Jan/Feb 2025, to accompany work from exhibition organisers Celie Byrne & Pearl Kinnear, plus Iain Henderson and Alice Yousaf.

An 11-channel spatial sound installation, built around the gallery space, to complement film, sculpture and textiles from the other artists. The sound sources used included audio from film shot in Gaza, the voice of the Palestinian poet Alice Yousaf, ambient sound recorded and played back from the gallery and original audio material.

The audio was then reworked for the final broadcast on Repeater Radio with a lot of additional voices.

>Ruaridh Law is an artist and musician based in North Ayrshire, Scotland.

>Over 20 years he has performed in groups, in collaborations and solo across a wide range of festivals, arts spaces, venues and clubs as performer, improviser, DJ and artist. His >mediums include sound and installation art, film and writing. His works have ranged from intimate audio performance and gallery installations to large-scale outdoor works >combining sound walks, improvised performance and experimental storytelling.

>His artistic focusses are on data-visualisation, human voices and their stories, unusual paradigms for performance and composing, and marrying abstraction to a beating human >heart. These have manifested themselves in a tarot deck that generates music, sequential stories told over film and radio, right-wing propaganda twisted and sanitised into more >worthwhile content and a walk through a forest and its imagined mythologies in the dead of night – as well as countless CD, DVD, vinyl and other music releases.

>He runs several record labels and, more recently, No Roof Only Sky, a small press publisher.
