![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Blodeuwedd's Song - braille soundart - Andrew Craig Williams
A piece of soundart that I'm trying to get exhibited/played somewhere this year, as it's partly to celebrate Louis Braille's bicentenary and his brilliant invention of Braille (which makes such a difference to blind and partially sighted people's lives) - and partly to, well, experiment I suppose. I make all kinds of art, material to abstract - and it's kind of an artist's duty to experiment. I got all inspired about soundart after my recent trip to New Zealand - Christchurch Art Gallery's Subso...

| Conversation (Soundart 07/07/09) - Andrew Craig Williams
A piece of soundart I have made to highlight problems faced by deaf people. If a deaf person was to receive a CD through the post, or listen to an advert, they would not be able to hear it - or hear very little of it. I am deaf in one ear, and last year started a British Sign Language course; I am now a level one signer having completed my Foundation Course. This piece of soundart is a conversation recorded today at RNIB Cymru's studios between myself and Nerys Probert, South Wales Group Co-ordi...

| Perkins - Andrew Craig Williams
A piece of soundart I have made to commemorate and celebrate the joining together of two fantastic organisations: RNIB Cymru (Royal National Institute of Blind People) and CIB (Cardiff Institute for the Blind). I have again used braille as the focus of the work, but this time I have used the bilingual strapline of both organisations: RNIB Cymru and CIB working together to support blind and partially sighted people / RNIB Cymru a CIB yn gweithio gyda'n gilydd i gefnogi pobl ddall ac รข golwg rhan...

| She machine - Andrew Craig Williams
A recording of a 1979 Fisher Price radio that used to play Teddy Bears Picnic. I bought this one second hand and messed about with it. I removed some of the tines on the music box mechanism, filed down some of the points on the cylinder, then I added another music box mechanism (with tines and points removed, bent and stuff). When you play them both together you get weird, scary, tinkly, discordant music...
