Sounding Water by Lizzie King, Fiona Brehony, Hayley Suviste, Aisling Davis Sounds from:〰 King’s Kersal Wetlands - considering the man-made flood defences and its multi-species inhabitants, including the water boatman.〰 Brehony’s River Irk - the hum of water-based paint machines threaded through fabric of a river, textured traces of industry and renewal along its banks. Protest, dance, and the call of an early morning rooster.〰 Suviste’s bogs and mosses of Delamere Forest - deep within the restored wetlands, the air crackles, pops, and gurgles with the sounds of life returning to the ancient bogs and mosses - lands that humans drained and degraded over the course of a century.〰 Davis’ Quantum Lake - recorded under 24-hour Arctic sunlight, where meltwaters meet long-term lemming studies. Molecular echoes, original scores, and field samples reflect on solitude, perception https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/From-the-River-s-Mouth Wed, 05 Feb 2025 16:43:34 +0000 Hayley Suviste https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/From-the-River-s-Mouth From The River’s Mouth (2025) From the River’s Mouth is a sound installation created during an artist residency at the University of Salford’s Acoustics Laboratories in early 2025, in partnership with From The Other and the University of Salford Art Collection. Premiered at Sounds from the Other City 2025, the work explores the River Irwell through spatialised sound, moving image, and field recordings, and will join the University’s permanent art collection. The installation was presented across three distinct rooms in the labatories, each utilising different acoustic environments and technology: — In the Shallows (anechoic chamber) is composed entirely of underwater recordings captured with hydrophones submerged in the Irwell. Projected through a 12-channel speaker array in the total silence of the chamber, this room offers an intimate listening experience—revealing the river’s hidden, subaquatic world - from the loud, ever-present hum of the city below the surface to the crackling, hissing, and popping effervescence of life in the Kersal Wetlands. <img width="2481" height="3508" width_o="2481" height_o="3508" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0812db4b5a620f183da044514ee4aae6a701a55c1f05c9721faee863d0082b39/From-the-River-s-Mouth-A4.png" data-mid="233021162" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0812db4b5a620f183da044514ee4aae6a701a55c1f05c9721faee863d0082b39/From-the-River-s-Mouth-A4.png" /> <img width="4643" height="6965" width_o="4643" height_o="6965" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1389ba4e1bd8aa9baf3deb0f2720f4f615fc6e46d5f53cb7430e4707c9fbaa44/20250303-DSCF8391-2.jpg" data-mid="227615449" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1389ba4e1bd8aa9baf3deb0f2720f4f615fc6e46d5f53cb7430e4707c9fbaa44/20250303-DSCF8391-2.jpg" /> <img width="4426" height="6639" width_o="4426" height_o="6639" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6fbc15066f5797e91ba3db3fe3b5f0515ca96f8bb118b4c0cb0763c77548a87a/anechoic2.jpg" data-mid="239157123" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6fbc15066f5797e91ba3db3fe3b5f0515ca96f8bb118b4c0cb0763c77548a87a/anechoic2.jpg" /> — At the River’s Edge (listening room) shifts from underwater to the surface of the river.

From April to June 2025, I’ll be working across three forest sites in England: Delamere, Bedgebury, and the New Forest. Collaborating with local ecologists and foresters, I’ll explore how the distinct landscapes, ecologies, and stories of each site can inform and shape my artistic practice. During these visits, I’ll gather and experiment with field recordings, photography, and video, using this material as the foundation for new audio-visual works created in response to each place. <img width="5152" height="7728" width_o="5152" height_o="7728" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/de3e1b62f77b0de5ba84f2418f679f43fc50a9e07f11e57184effc4f970914b5/DSCF9627.jpeg" data-mid="229466289" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/de3e1b62f77b0de5ba84f2418f679f43fc50a9e07f11e57184effc4f970914b5/DSCF9627.jpeg" /> <img width="5152" height="7728" width_o="5152" height_o="7728" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab203ca6664d28096f02edace2c1b4dce02da3ec95d7f37c2e191838e43a660e/DSCF9787.jpeg" data-mid="229466254" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab203ca6664d28096f02edace2c1b4dce02da3ec95d7f37c2e191838e43a660e/DSCF9787.jpeg" /> <img width="5152" height="7728" width_o="5152" height_o="7728" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4bef436513a21feff63727d90ec0833a55a0aeaa97df52e041cd40f0b30ce096/DSCF9300.jpeg" data-mid="229466288" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4bef436513a21feff63727d90ec0833a55a0aeaa97df52e041cd40f0b30ce096/DSCF9300.jpeg" /> Photos from ‘The Lost Mosses of Delamere’ (April ‘25) https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/Edgeland Sat, 08 Jul 2023 10:25:27 +0000 Hayley Suviste https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/Edgeland Edgeland (2020)&nbsp; Commissioned by Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival As Manchester’s streets and skyline are warped by the ever-accelerating process of urban renewal, the city’s edgelands and green spaces are at risk of being swallowed by waves of property development. Not only does this raise questions about the ecology of the city, as carbon sinks are flattened and wildlife is displaced, but it speaks to broader trends pushing urban residents away from shared space, community and local identity. This project shines a light on these spaces and the activists, academics, and local people who have taken up the daunting fight against corporate interests in the city in the name of biodiversity, urban ecology and community wellbeing. As we are faced with crises of both environment and mental health, the role of public green spaces has become ever more crucial in the eyes of those who enjoy, nurture, and maintain them. As the tide of urban growth edges closer to the open boundaries of our shared spaces, the trees, wildlife and insects continue their gentle movement, unaware that these spaces are likely reaching the end of their rich lineage. If nothing else, this project documents these final days. This work weaves together recorded conversations, composed music and field recordings from a handful of Manchester’s urban wildlife havens. Interviewees include community activists Julie Ryan and Tara Parry from ‘Friends of Ryebank Fields’, award-winning alternative tour guide Hayley Flynn (Skyliner) and Dr Jenna C. Ashton (artist, curator and lecturer at The University of Manchester). <img width="2005" height="3024" width_o="2005" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0972dfe39a9e9f5b1b259546ed52333166563e0afd027b0468ff57b08a961afd/202108192138034.jpg" data-mid="184491544" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0972dfe39a9e9f5b1b259546ed52333166563e0afd027b0468ff57b08a961afd/202108192138034.jpg" /> <img width="2005" height="3024" width_o="2005" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3cbc5c4ac84fba2395557426d4a782bb60d70243c38be3350f519003084fd20e/202108192138032.jpg" data-mid="184509581" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3cbc5c4ac84fba2395557426d4a782bb60d70243c38be3350f519003084fd20e/202108192138032.jpg" /> <img width="2005" height="3024" width_o="2005" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/04fa17a3a3af8b427e88d8f7a582592632d3c6305f8ec3f58972c8093f01e2b8/202108192138031.jpg" data-mid="184509580" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/04fa17a3a3af8b427e88d8f7a582592632d3c6305f8ec3f58972c8093f01e2b8/202108192138031.jpg" /> <img width="2005" height="3024" width_o="2005" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aeea6cde5a95db9d7b891c17c9d8276d6cdc38c6aa0e197f483b7ce32f22bc85/202108192138033.jpg" data-mid="184509583" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aeea6cde5a95db9d7b891c17c9d8276d6cdc38c6aa0e197f483b7ce32f22bc85/202108192138033.jpg" /> Edgeland by Hayley Suviste https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/Navvies Fri, 07 Jul 2023 16:06:50 +0000 Hayley Suviste https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/Navvies Navvies (2022) Navvies recognises the role of the 17,000 navvies who dug the Manchester Ship Canal. From their labour flowed the city of Salford, Greater Manchester’s industrial success, and eventually: Salford Quays and Media City itself. The Navvies Union estimates that up to 1,100 of these navvies died digging the Canal, with more injured. These men migrated from all areas of the UK, alongside thousands from Ireland, who, in particular, faced extreme prejudice. The composition weaves together the voices of the Salford Loaves and Fishes community group, who share their insights into the navvies' experiences and reflections on their present-day lives in Salford. These personal accounts are combined with field recordings and music performed by the BBC Philharmonic. This project was commissioned by Mediale and premiered at Lightwaves Festival 2022 in Media City. The composition accompanied visuals by Matthew Rossier, which saw dozens of anonymous individuals endlessly digging under the water, being projected into the Manchester Ship Canal – only their white spades and barrows moving. <img width="2000" height="1000" width_o="2000" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/581c9c56bd9aad92ffaf654a13488a515727296cab5f74add5a0fd9be899c7ce/manchester-ship-canal.jpeg" data-mid="184450306" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/581c9c56bd9aad92ffaf654a13488a515727296cab5f74add5a0fd9be899c7ce/manchester-ship-canal.jpeg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d2e1e29faf65b51239d22fb74b05d1030e00cff15856262b8302848f72dd4676/ab7790f1-d4d3-439e-a4b4-1c29d43c1698.JPG" data-mid="184509882" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/d2e1e29faf65b51239d22fb74b05d1030e00cff15856262b8302848f72dd4676/ab7790f1-d4d3-439e-a4b4-1c29d43c1698.JPG" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a0df517ed39dc7483406dc56483ce3493fe18f468529b1d5e25e05d6befa7c3f/1.jpeg" data-mid="184509872" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a0df517ed39dc7483406dc56483ce3493fe18f468529b1d5e25e05d6befa7c3f/1.jpeg" /> <img width="763" height="539" width_o="763" height_o="539" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d25db33e3eba960611819e236368049af79ee5332d4821be0cccfda7e4704ae5/54FF95C7-EF5C-42EA-940F-CC15FA3D8667-2.JPG" data-mid="184509897" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/763/i/d25db33e3eba960611819e236368049af79ee5332d4821be0cccfda7e4704ae5/54FF95C7-EF5C-42EA-940F-CC15FA3D8667-2.JPG" /> <img width="763" height="539" width_o="763" height_o="539" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7434e7a0a703613d219739dd25377a4bb026230f843f8a8836baafc7ceab613/8CF66A49-D31B-4DA0-8F47-986533FDE228-2.JPG" data-mid="184509901" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/763/i/d7434e7a0a703613d219739dd25377a4bb026230f843f8a8836baafc7ceab613/8CF66A49-D31B-4DA0-8F47-986533FDE228-2.JPG" /> <img width="2712" height="2969" width_o="2712" height_o="2969" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3299e9d78f27438c89d647055d5defd28edc646ed399542809e9e4c19bb6fbe9/8D36E189-0367-4B69-86FB-66C32B7AA9AB.JPG" data-mid="184509895" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3299e9d78f27438c89d647055d5defd28edc646ed399542809e9e4c19bb6fbe9/8D36E189-0367-4B69-86FB-66C32B7AA9AB.JPG" /> https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/the-pigeons-from-my-window Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:41:22 +0000 Hayley Suviste https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/the-pigeons-from-my-window the pigeons from my window (2025) A live performance originally created for a gig at PINK in Stockport, as part of Handbook In Motion, accompanied by visuals of the pigeons that live on my street.

It’s a celebratory collection of early recordings by experimental artists from across the UK and Europe.Limited to 200 copies on vinyl, these 21 tracks were recorded between 1976 and 2021, using DIY home recording equipment from dictaphones to early laptop microphones. Almost all of these now-celebrated musicians were teenagers at the time.For most, these were the very first recordings they made. For others, these were their earliest tracks to survive the ravages of tech — disintegrating tapes, lost floppy disks, stolen gear and damaged hard drives.Some of these sonic diary entries remain warped and worn with the crackles and hiss of age, but all of them are new to our ears. It's essential listening for those interested in the work of these artists, the origins of art, and shifts in DIY possibilities and aesthetics over the past five decades. <img width="5184" height="3456" width_o="5184" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/94c153e259720b690e959f211a91b000d53f98bce7e80fadc623a34aef4891e3/02.JPG" data-mid="208832279" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/94c153e259720b690e959f211a91b000d53f98bce7e80fadc623a34aef4891e3/02.JPG" /> <img width="5184" height="3456" src="//freight.cargo.site/w/1500/i/40d53abb270c7d0e49c88b696ef6badd861ac5a27d366799a172bbc8e777aaa8/01.JPG" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/40d53abb270c7d0e49c88b696ef6badd861ac5a27d366799a172bbc8e777aaa8/01.JPG"> Early Experiments in Recording, Vol.1 (1976-2021) by Various Artists https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/Hayley-Suviste-Lili-Holland-Fricke Sun, 14 Apr 2024 09:15:56 +0000 Hayley Suviste https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/Hayley-Suviste-Lili-Holland-Fricke Hayley Suviste &amp; Lili Holland-Fricke Our collaboration involves creating dark and swirling soundscapes, constructed from processed cello, clarinet, guitar, electronics, and vocals. In 2023, we were selected to participate in the Summer Studios Residency at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead. During this residency, we focused on refining our music and live set, which we performed in Sage Two. Additionally, we received an invitation to a residency at The University of Hull, where we further developed one of our compositions, 'Womb,' for real-time ambisonic mixing. This piece was subsequently performed on their HEARO system during a concert, and also at the MANTIS Festival in Manchester in October 2023. ‘Womb’ is a semi-improvised composition featuring the shruti box, cello, clarinet, and electronics. It explores the sensation of being enveloped in water. https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/Chorlton-Oral-History-Sound-Walk Sat, 08 Jul 2023 15:00:59 +0000 Hayley Suviste https://hayleysuviste.co.uk/Chorlton-Oral-History-Sound-Walk Chorlton Oral History Walk (2021) Commissioned by North West Sound Heritage, Hayley created a geo-locative sound walk on Sonic Maps, using interviews from The Manchester Studies unit’s extensive oral history project from the 1970s. Older adults (born in the late 19th and early 20th centuries) were interviewed about their time growing up, living, and working in Chorlton between 1900 and 1950. These oral histories have been brought to life with field recording and sound design.
