Delighted to have been asked to produce a 28 minute radio piece for Radia, to be broadcast worldwide. The Radia website ...
We made a new piece from recordings around where we work:
Poplar,
East London: Erno Goldfinger's Balfron
Tower
hums. Melanie Clifford & Howard Jacques are two of the artists
living and working there with Bow
Arts,
while the tower awaits renovation. For this 28 minute portrait they
recorded and played back on various devices sounds from within the
building: the humming of the enormous, ancient heating system; the
lifts; radios in the basement; playing marbles in the stairwell and
sounds from outside: the
derelict playground
at the base of the tower; kicking a football; stroking the concrete.
The piece is constructed from live improvisational play: all sounds
are field recordings played at varying speeds.
