My work falls into roughly 4 categories (with many overlaps):

PERFORMANCE

SHADOW-WALKS

LISTENING WORKSHOPS & SOUNDWALKS

INSTALLATIONS

For Shadow-walks, see designated page on this website.

For the other 3, here are some selected examples from before 2021. For work after that see HOME page.

Duo with Amanda Gutierrez: 360 video. I had my usual setup of voice, electronics and field recordings. Our piece was based on a Shadow-walk Amanda took me on in Mexico City in 2019.

Luckily there were performances online run by London clubs where I have often played live. I played solo sets at Iklectik off-site, Mopomoso TV and The Horse, among others. Plus many festivals went online and I played at several (BEAST, ISSTA, Noisefloor, Quarantine Concerts).

I joined Sarah Weaver's Nownet Lab Ensemble and Doug Van Nort's Electracoustic Orchestra (EAO), both performing on the Jacktrip platform. From these developed several smaller performing groups. I continued with the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse,which has been working telematically long before Covid struck.

Solo performance before a socially distanced audience on Long Island, as part of an artist residency at Guild Hall Arts centre.

I wrote this music work while on a residency at Emily Harvey Foundation, Venice. It is based on Pauline Oliveros and her partner Ione's experience while on an EHF residency some years earlier. It was premiered by Zeitgeist in St Paul, MN and later performed in Kingston, home of Pauline and Ione, working with local musicians and also Susie Ibarra. I was vocalist for both presentations.

A live vocal performance within a six channel installation, using field recordings I had made on a Shadow-walks project in Val Pellice, Italy. Carlo Fossati, who had curated the project, created the video.

I travelled to Hong Kong, Taipei, Shantou China, Delhi, Bangalore and Kolkata India, presenting the multi-channel work "Shattered Song, Shadow City" at festivals, arts and cultural centres and universities. The work interweaves live singing through fragmented stories, gathered from Shadow-walks in five countries, exploring a sense of dislocation.

This work had been created on an artist residency with digital arts centre Harvestworks, who presented the final piece at IPR. For this performance Paul Geluso's "3D Sound Object" was used for the multi-channel setup.

A soundwalk available online for the Walking as a Question event which asks where are we when we walk? Are we here, in this place that our feet move through, or are we lost in thoughts and memories of other times and places? This playful and dream-like soundwalk aims to throw these questions into confusion.

A self-guided soundwalk that uses a free Gesso app.

The essence of a place is revealed to the feet that move through it and listen.

Guest instructor at CREATIVE FIELD RECORDING 3 day event and SOUND ETHNOGRAPHIES 3 day event.

I worked with art students for the Srishti Interim: a month long residency. We went on soundwalks, studied Pauline Oliveros's method of Deep Listening, created text and visual scores and made a public music performance.

soundpocket wrote: “We welcomed our artist-mentor Viv Corringham, a British vocalist, sound artist and composer based in New York. Viv shared her profound listening practices to 12 local artists on October 23. During the 4-day workshop here in Hong Kong, Viv led the artist-mentees into practicing the art of listening and responding by cultivating full body listening, listening as joy and trust, as a connection with environmental conditions, and as building human community."

A field trip to Manila with some of the artists I had mentored in Hong Kong. We worked with local artists from an artist group there.

An aural expedition guide for World Listening Day. The score was created for the Walker sculpture garden.

Arrivals is a listening walk beside the Rondout Creek in Kingston, NY. It is accompanied by a free iPhone app, which uses the device’s GPS to activate different soundworks as the listener wanders along the waterfront. The app contains 10 tracks, each tied to a location. These contain stories gathered by interviewing local residents about their experiences of arriving in Kingston, interwoven with sung vocalisations.


Commissioned by the Deep Listening Institute.

Multichannel version of my Shadow-walks in Melbourne.

Shadow-walks: Hong Kong was a sound installation on Kwun Tong Ferry Pier in Hong Kong created for Around Sound art festival organised by soundpocket.

A sound installation with visual works in CD jewel cases based on photographs taken, objects found along the route, and words from our conversations on my Shadow-walk with Paul. Commissioned for 

group show: This is Paul Halupka.

An audio and video installation of "At the End of the Road" with found objects hanging in the museum alongside a video of them, The sound-work "At the End of the Road" was created from Shadow-walks done in Grand Marais in northern Minnesota.

Part of Documente-Se! Festival (Document Yourself!)

A sound installation of ten white boxes, each containing a unique composition heard by raising the lid. Objects inside the boxes were based on what was found on Shadow-walks with local people in different parts of the US. 
Visitors were invited to open and close lids as they wished, making new and changing compositions from the overlapping mix of sounds.
 


This work was originally created for MCAD Gallery, Minneapolis, supported by a McKnight Composer Fellowship.

"Works by Vito Acconci, Andre Avelas, Betsey Biggs, Viv Corringham, Barbara Ess, Christina Kubisch, Abinadi Meza, Tristan Perich, & Seth Price. Curated by Alan Licht.
The Headphones Show highlights innovative artworks that incorporate headphones as a critical element. Utilizing sound art, digital projection, and interactive artwork, these local and international artists explore the auditory sensation of inner space, as well as the power and nuance of sound."
