For Ora 9 Salomé Voegelin and Daniela Cascella discuss archiving sound with Cheryl Tipp, Curator of Natural Sounds at the British Library in London. Their conversation engages in questions of authority and authenticity – what is included and what is kept out – explores silences and gaps – that which is uncollected and thus remains inaudible – and considers archival fictions that question and redraw the boundaries between the document and artistic imagination; public and private; fact and sentiment.
Who is archived and who is the archivist? What is archived, the bird or its sound?
