Otari Soundscape

Hopefully over the Easter break I shall get the first of the sculptures up on the fence, along with the sculptures there will be a QR Code that will link to the Otari Soundscape made up of sounds the students and I recorded last year. To listen click here.

Fence Artwork

This is a test for the artwork going on the fence, this piece is based on the spectrogram of a tui and the colour scheme is taken from the colours of a tui. The final pieces when they are made will each have a qr code attached, so people can scan the code and listen to the sounds each artwork represents. Click here to listen to a tui.

Project Overview

Below is a Prezi, which is a presentation programme. The Otari Prezi is to help see how the project could develop and allows bits to be added and changed as the project develops.
You can use the arrow buttons on your keyboard to advance through the presentation or just click and zoom in to different bits.

Otari - Wilton's Bush Reserve on Prezi

Welcome - Tēnā koutou

This blog is about the development of creative ideas for Otari - Wilton's Bush Reserve in Wellington, New Zealand. The project is at an early stage and I am just putting together ideas and information about the possibilities of developing creative ideas, how they maybe implemented and funded.
I will add information and ideas as they develop, along with other creative projects and work which can provide inspiration and show the many different approaches that could be taken. Please feel free to contact me if you want more information, have any ideas or want to be involved.
The title of the blog is a translation of the Maori work Otari, meaning place of snares, which refers to the past use of the area as a rich and abundant source for catching birds.
