SUMMARY:Building the Archive: Fieldwork with Derek Piotr
DESCRIPTION:The Derek Piotr Fieldwork Archive (fieldwork-archive.com) was 
 established by Derek Piotr in August 2022. The Archive contains over 1\,500 
 audio recordings made from March 2020 onward\, and preserves diverse 
 representations of folklife\; ballads\, hymns\, tales\, poems\, 
 children’s songs\, and interviews among them. The focus of this 
 collection is on the "non-singer": someone with no background in musical 
 performance who can nevertheless relate a song or folkloric memory. In this 
 lecture\, Derek will walk you through the process of journeying everywhere 
 from Iceland to Utah to record these songs from non-musicians\, as well as 
 the organization and development of the Archive as a web-based repository. 
 He will also touch on the Memory Lab instituted by the Library and walk 
 patrons through some of the 80  musical recordings he has made in New Haven 
 as a celebration of the city.\n\n \n\nDerek Piotr is a folklorist\, 
 researcher and performer whose work focuses primarily on the human voice. 
 His work covers practices including fieldwork\, vocal performance\, 
 preservation and autoethnography\; and is primarily concerned with 
 tenderness\, fragility\, beauty and brutality. He has collaborated with 
 artists including Scott Solter\, Nathan Salsburg and Thomas Brinkmann 
 across various disciplines.
