about

MAJOR SPORTING EVENT (2017) is a collaborative audio work by James Greer and Sam Mackay.

Unfolding as a correspondence between two post-human reporters, it weaves together reportage, historical research, field recordings and semi-concrete music to offer a ludic re-narrating of the late modern city.

Maritime border zones. East Asian suburbia. Mediterranean port life. Interspecies ambitions. 8-bit soundtracks heard through the prisms of hirajoshi and insen scales. Magical itinerance. Aural pathways through the anthropocene.
