"On "June (Havens Beach, NY) Corringham coos against lapping waves before describing toxic bacteria in the water. Giving voice to the layered narratives of place, she points to a way of noticing more nuanced than mere surveillance."

"Corringham voices the depth of place."

A week in Mexico City and Guadalajra, Mexico, for the festival Enclave- poeticas de emergencia acustica.

I made performances, workshops for Deep Listening and a sound walk. My solo performance was called "Following the Lost River Fleet" based on a walk I had recorded along its route and included that recording plus my live improvised vocal response. I also played with performer Iris Garrelfs and poet Rocio Ceron.

The Best Field Recordings on Bandcamp: March 2024 By Matthew Blackwell · March 28, 2024

"Since the late 1970s, Viv Corringham has practiced as a sound artist and vocal improviser, often centering her pieces around walking. She had a radio show at Resonance FM entitled Vocal Strolls and has long undertaken a series of Shadow-walks, which are inspired by walks that have been important in other people’s lives. For Soundwalkscapes, Corringham decided to take a walk on the first Monday of every month in 2023, no matter where she was. The six selections here find her in New York state and London. As she strolls, she improvises: she sings, hums, counts and narrates. Over the course of the album, the histories of these places are revealed along with their present state. “Nearly 200 years ago, Central Park’s landscape near the west 85th street entrance was home to Seneca Village, a community of predominantly free African American property owners,” she tells us. Elsewhere, she reads a sign: “Notice: 24-hour video surveillance. Residents and guests only.” Corringham, a teacher of Deep Listening, is always present and engaged with her surroundings, responsive to the rich sonic environment around her. She’s a phenomenal tour guide and an engaging companion, wherever she takes you. "

“Eco Choir” at Guild Hall, NY “Over a sequential three-year project, Springs School students worked alongside sound artist & composer, Viv Corringham, to develop an ecological listening awareness and explore the capabilities of the human voice. Using Deep Listening methodologies, field recording exercises, and experimental voice practices, Corringham and the Students have developed an “Eco Choir.” In this performance, the Eco Choir will present an improvised performance to the English folk tale, The Buried Moon.” Student Art Festival : Eco vs Ego

The participating public can select the sound they want and walk according to their desires in the French pavilion, accompanied by the chosen news. Also broadcast in the Ball Theater during the week. - On the Internet, a website lists the soundtracks In addition, a catalogue includes description of recordings and biographies.

WALKING BY THE PECONIC BAY

An audio/visual meditation on the Peconic Bay region ofA Long Island NY. I have spent a great deal time there during the pandemic, walking along the shore and observing the environment. Includes my spoken words on a narrated walk there (eg horseshoe crabs older than dinosaurs). 2. Vocal music composed and sung by me, blended with the environmental sounds of the Bay. 3. A video and still views of the place and of myself singing WATCH HERE​

A soundwalk made for Walking as a Question, Walking Arts Encounter, Prespa, Greece. 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. It can be taken while in Prespa or anywhere else, including indoors.

PRESS RELEASE: LOR156 - Viv Corringham - Here in Our Distant Corner We Wait (cassette and DL) Linear Obsessional is very excited to release a new album from the extraordinary vocalist and composer Viv Corringham. "Here in Our Distant Corner We Wait" is an engaging and fascinating collection - Viv uses her voice, both pure and treated, to create intimate explorations within a very human realm. It finds her making some of her most personal and explorative music. This is Viv's third album for Linear Obsessional. Released as a cassette and download.

Through our walking feet we can listen for traces of previous walkers, for stories from the earth, for echoes of history, and for our own memories. The essence of a place is revealed to the feet that move through it and listen.

Full of Noises is a self-guided soundwalk for the Village of East Hampton, New York, that leads the public through known spaces with new, heightened, and playful listening. Composed and narrated by sound artist, Viv Corringham, Full of Noises links the cultural gifts of Mary Woodhouse – Guild Hall, The Duck Pond, and Clinton Academy –, with prompts for finding, imagining, and remembering sounds. Simply download the free app. on your phone, pop-in a pair of headphones, and listen.

Performances at World Through a Window Earth Day Festival and the Quarantine Concerts.

Amanda had taken me on her special walk through Mexico City in 2019, for my Shadow-walks project. We created a piece based on that walk, using her 360 videos and my voice with field recordings made there. Every performance is different because each of us improvises in response to the other person.

The Listening Body: Workshop with Viv Corringham & Jolie Parcher

A 5 week course at Guild Hall, East Hampton, NY  Drawing on a range of techniques from Deep Listening™, Yoga, Mindfulness, and more. Led by vocalist, composer, and Deep Listening™ teacher, Viv Corringham, and Director of Mandala Yoga Center for Healing Arts, Jolie Parcher. It's been good to work with actual people not postage stamps on a screen. And my first live performance with an audience since Covid!

I got this very nice review in The Wire :

"Fragments of her voice flicker like the light bouncing over water in her video, later drifting into ambiguous urban sound, a backdrop for her intermittent vocal solo. It’s a gorgeous, calming piece, new age in the best sense.”  The Wire- August 2020
