Abstract or Description:

The collaboration between artists Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard and acoustic and sound designer Raj Patel since 2005 has traversed various mediums, including installations, live art, moving images, and radio projects, with spatial audio being a consistent element. Through discussions on their evolving relationship and the essence of collaboration, sound emerges as a central anchor. The dialogue references key projects such as Silent Sound (2006, 2007, 2010, live art, installation), The Death of Bunny Munro (2009, audiobook), Soon (2011, outdoor installation), and Bish Bosch: Ambisymphonic (2013, ambisonic installation). This text presents a conversation between Raj Patel, Iain Forsyth, and Jane Pollard, highlighting the interplay between their diverse backgrounds and shared interests, and how their collaborative efforts have influenced their individual practices. Compiled from online, face-to-face discussions, and written reflections, this ongoing exchange reflects the iterative nature of their partnership, interspersed with factual details on select projects.
