A Sequel To The “Unfinished Symphony” Of Charles Sargeant Jagger
Description
This is the audio version of the blog post 'A Sequel To The “Unfinished Symphony” Of Charles Sargeant Jagger'. It was written by Cornelia Chen aka Chen Chen, who did a remote student placement with the Courtauld Connects Conway Library digitisation project. It was first published on 14 May 2021. This audio version is read by Christopher Williams, who is a digitisation volunteer.
In this post, Cornelia is inspired by photographs of Charles Sergeant Jagger's sculptures to reflect on the workings of memory and public memorialisation. Using a software called Pixelsynth, Cornelia creates sound pieces to accompany the photographs: the resulting sounds draw out the atmospheres and moods of the memorials, drawing viewers and listeners into the small details.
You can find the written version with the photographs and embedded videos with sound on our blog https://blog.courtauld.ac.uk/digitalmedia/2021/05/14/chen-unfinished-symphony-charles-sargeant-jagger/
