Initially conceived by Emile Milgrim and T. Wheeler Castillo, Archival Feedback is an interdisciplinary dialog stemming from an attempt to document the ever-changing landscape of South Florida.
The project centers around field recordings (“calls”) collected by Milgrim and Wheeler Castillo between 2012-14 with corresponding “responses” composed by selected artists utilizing these recordings, all mastered by Rat Bastard at Dan Hosker Studio in Miami Beach.
A collection of prints, authored and printed by Milgrim and
Wheeler Castillo at Turn-Based Press in Miami, informs the listening, references history and reacts to the landscape.
Archival Feedback is research and fieldwork, print and sonic map.
Contributing artists include Felecia Chizuko Carlisle, io.ko (Elegua Records), Fsik Huvnx (Other Electricities), Dim Past (Other Electricities), Jared McKay (Coral Morphologic), and Ortrotasce.
Archival Feedback's working experimental practice integrates wide-ranging field studies with art and the study of the landscape, charting multiple environments and exploring and encountering place through a holistic framework, working imperatively towards using sound art to facilitate a more-heightened listening. Emile Milgrim and T. Wheeler Castillo are based in Miami, FL.
