Thinking in Sound: Will Bates on Searching for the ‘Eureka Moment’

LBB> Who are your musical or audio heroes and why?

Will> When I was 6 years old I sang the entire score of Star Wars to my parents. They promptly went out and bought me a violin which I then tortured them with until I was given a saxophone. So John Williams has a lot to answer for. When I first understood that one person had written all those melodies I was humming I realised that’s what I wanted to be when I grew up.

The first record I bought was Ennio Morricone’s score to The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. It’s become so ingrained in our pop culture, but to imagine that one person could combine all those colours and have them actually make sense is still amazing to me.

I adore Miles Davis. His constant re-invention, his use of negative space, his collaborations with Gil Evans are a huge inspiration. Again, all those amazing colours. Vangelis’ score to Bladerunner started an obsession with analogue synths, as well as listening to a lot of early Prodigy records and other house and techno of the late 90s that left its mark on me.

LBB> And when it comes to your particular field, whether sound design or composing, are there any particular ideas or pioneers that you go back to frequently or who really influence your thinking about the work you do?

Will> My wife is a painter. And she shares this work ethic from Francis Bacon, that there is no true lightening bolt of inspiration. That moment only comes from regular work, and honing the craft through discipline is a route to true creativity. I think Brian Eno has a similar work ethic. And it doesn’t mean it can’t be fun and deeply rewarding, but I try to structure my work days with a similar attitude.

Good Luck Glenn. Give it Loads!

I Crawl Home was a performance piece by Robert O Leaver who crawled on hands and knees up Broadway in Manhattan from Wall Street to Washington Heights, 10 blocks a day over the course of 8 months. Glass Eye Pix was there to document.

The last crawl took place on 6.12.14 and was videoed by wing man Larry Fessenden and on second camera, Jack Fessenden. This time-base endurance piece started on Halloween 2013, and brings to mind Fessenden’s early collaborations with performance artists such as The Impact Addict, Heather Woodbury and Alien Comic in the 1980s. Long live the arts.

While on hold with a loan collector Cassandra Quinlin’s consciousness becomes untethered from her body and reemerges in another part of her life – where she helps a man recover his memories from a postsurgical amnesic haze.

Mission Statement 
Many of us exist in a twilight state between past and present – powerful memories threaten to engulf us and we must fight our way back. By rendering this interior voyage in its true cosmic vastness I hope reawaken the audience’s appreciation for the beauty and terror hidden in the everyday.
