The Storyteller's Valley: Creating landscape, myth and identity through hauntological space, distributed authorship and transmedial imagination...*

This website invites you to explore the story of glenasmole and its people through their eyes and through documentation... look at how a landscape and the identity of its community is created through storytelling and media... and explore the issues and context of it is ...

AM I EXPLORING THEMES AND THEORIES THRU THE REMEDIATIONS... COLLAGES OF MATERIAL MY OWN N ARCHIVAL?

EG MEMORY N GAPS ETC... CHILDREN, ETC.

HOW DO I BRING IN FOUND FOOTAGE TECHNIQUES... GLITCH *GLITCH - CAN MAKE WITH CRACKLE OR SOMETHING..

WOULD I DISPERSE THE OISIN MYTH THROUGHOUT THE WEBSITE? - FRAGMENT... AND HAVE BITS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE STORY? SO - LAND... TIR NA NOG (TIME)... RETURNING LONGING FOR PAST... - HAUNTOLOGY... ST PATRICK N WRITING - NEW MEDIUMS.., BECOMING MYTHOLOGIZED IN A SPACE... - WHEN HE RETURNS HE IS THE MYTH N HE TELLS HIS STORY.. HE WAS THE STORYTELLER OF HIS TIME BUT ALSO THE STORY ITSELF... AND THAT WAS NOW MOST TRANSLATED N KNOWN THRU AMEDIUM IT ORIGINALLY WASNT..
knowledge creation and the storytelling tradition... fact and fiction... truth... -practice research also acoustemology - way of knowing world thru song... how do we chant ourselves into existence quote***


bring in idea ofwho creates knowledge??


*the nature of knowledge myth - this connects to gaps and memory....
how this connects to the land??? - myth

maps... field names

hauntology - eerie.. time...

memory... gaps in knowledge - opening up space... - maybe have young/old/generational... mixed in with oisin in tir na nog on same page in same area??
the remediations..
opening up... more space for interpretation.. participation

impact on th e storytelling??
music and storytelling - memory ... this connection where do i put it?

playing glenasmole....
the process of documentation...
memory and imagination and learning....
recording - retelling


also

it is a mythologizing project... all the ppl become myth

*Maybe my documentation alongside how land is record, how ppl give names etc....? on same page
the entire thing - act of editing, documenting, creating, curating.... is piecing together information about a place .... memory and imagination...
diary entries *hospitality, time, land and stories - on the roads
being self conscious, record... people, reflection
videos of ppl recording... me recording, donie getting intrviewed
gallery of ppl, the figures of the valley (john lee, characters.... in interview)
videos of books, candle, eddie lenihan, the man forgetting womans name, peig, my granny, info on the seanchai...

maybe introduce the myths thru oisin - the storyteller...
rock to the top - participatory...the names... the rocks - holding stories

would this lead onto land...


impact on storytelling - we feel comfortable in daylight surrounded by gadgets... WHERE WAS THIS FROM - EDDIE LENIHAN?? but at night... belief... and impact of digital technologies -does it make less believable...?

children being asked, the stuff they made, old ppl feeling young... time...
the mistakes in knowledge videosetc.. quote from mark fisher about confabulatory..
picture of seanchai andtv introducing everything?..

the stories of ppl walking down the road.. the storytellers, memories of storytellers... *its a loop of ppl telling stories lol* but this connects w my experience on the roads... PUT THIS IN REMEDIATIONS???

homes - warmth inside, candle, pictures of houses - or is that ppl of glenasmole... living...
the videos - some were more 'information' drawn from remediated/original material... others were - sound... some other were more creative explorations of topics w out info.. veered between the two..
KNOWLEDGE / INTRO / ABOUT SEANCHAI....
SHOT OF GLITCH.... THE FLAME... STORIES OF IRELAND.... BOOK....
INTRO... WORDS ON TOP... THEN INTERSPERSED... SHOTS OF EAMONN KELLY.... EDDIE LENIHAN TALKING ABOUT IT... DONT GO LOOKING AT THE BOOKS.......
*BRING IN OSIIN AND MYTHS?
*STORYTELLING IN GLENASMOLE - THE RECORDINGS... THE FIGURE
*PEIG - WOMEN... ICA, BEING INTERRUPTED, RECITING POEM
*NATURE OF KNOWLEDGE? - BUT THAT IS IT GOING INTO MEMORY AND IMAGINATION?

SOUND - CRACKLING WITH VIOLIN....
MAYBE STARK CONTRAST - SILENCE AS WE GO TO PEIG....

VIDEO OF EAMONN KELLY IN FRONT OF WOMEN STANDING LISTENING.... PRIEST PREACHING...??
VIOLIN - CHOSE AS INSTRUMENT... SOMETHING I KNEW ALREADY.. BUT ALSO IN DIFF TRADITION SOMEWHAT.. SO STILL LEARNING, OUTSIDER... PERFORMANCE... AND IT IS IRISH MUSIC TRADITION TOO..
THE GRAVEYARDS OF IRELAND ARE FILLED WITH STORIES.... * MAYBE THEYRE TELLING EACHOTHER STORIES.... - DIAL A SEANCHAI
MAYBE GALLERY IS CONNECTED TO REMEDIATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION/REFLECTION... TIES BOTH TOGETHER - THE MYTHOLOGIZATION OF MYTH ALSO HUMAN ENGAGEMENT... PEOPLE...

REMEDIATION IS CONNECTED TO LAND REMEDIATION....

Hayward 2014 – etetung as a sonic way of knowing and understanding the world, an acoustemology in Feld’s term.***** ACOUSTEMOLOGY, FELD, HAYWARD... WAY OF KNOWING.. catherine grant vanuatu reading
Maybe i say... remediations... documentation... w thanks to ppl of Glenasmole.. n then go through them... The ppl remediate, the people, issues...?
ACCOMPANY PAGES W SOUND... AS U ENTER... SOUND OF WALKING??? CRUNCHING GRASS... BIRDS? *AUDIO FROM ONE OF MY TRIPS? *COLLAGE OF STUFF.. U ARE LISTENING TO...? WHAT IS THEIR STORY? ENTER TO FIND OUT.... WHAT LANDSCAPE, AND PEOPLE ARE CONNECTED TO THIS SOUND...? N HOW DO THEY CONNECT WHAT DO THEY CONJURE..
ARCHIVE OF MIXED MATERIAL....
WILL I INCLUDE PURE OWN STUFF, NOT AUDIOVISUAL COLLAGE?
Mixture of own audio and diff voices - bringing a sense of multiauthorship..., but also looking at my own voice within it and critiquing or questioning the impact of remediations and documentation...*(bring in eddie lenihan), tried to bring these together through stuff like soundscape, sonic elongation.., video - blending together diff film grains n things, choppy cuts between them (as much a limitation of my skills too...), not aligning things up like birds n violin..
*scrolling, website.. so it wasnt static one-dimensional and it embodies research ideas...
HOW DO I FOCUS IN ON THE AUDIOVISUALITY OF THESE REMEDIATIONS??
(IN LANDSCAPE/HAUNTOLOGY ETC. - AUDIOVISUALITY OF THE LANDSCAPE!!! HOW LANDSCAPE CAN B HEARD IN HAUNTOLOGICAL TERMS..)
how hauntology ties in w audiovisual aspects of the landscape... memory, music, audio birds, visual landscape of ruins etc....* HEAR THE ANCESTORS??? THE STORIES ARE BEING TOLD IN THE GRAVES....? HOW LANDSCAPE IS HEARD IN HAUNTOLOGICAL TERMS
element of remediation and extraction even in tradition.... eddie
REMEDIATION FEATURES IN EACH SECTION.... - AS THIS IS THE FOCUS... REMEDIATIONAL STORYTELLING...
