Andra McCartney is a sound artist and writer who lives in a highway village in eastern Ontario. From 1999–2015, Andra lived in Lachine and Montreal, where she taught at Concordia University and did several large-scale sound projects. Andra is deeply interested in listening, especially to everyday sounds. Her approach relies on repetitive listening and recording as ways of getting to know places. She goes on soundwalks and listening quests to open up conversations with other makers and listeners. Andra transforms her own field recordings into video, live performance and interactive work, juxtaposing recordings from different but related places, emphasizing slowness and subtlety.
