Abstract

Sounds are everywhere
Some are obvious
Some are hidden

Using sounds captured inside Hull’s Tidal Surge Barrier and the Humber Bridge alongside abandoned instruments, this improvised performance will weave textures and soundscapes from sounds that are ignored or never normally heard. Sounds derived from secret locations, objects left for dead, and always-on systems operating just below our feet protecting the entire population of the region.

These sounds form part of the complex, layered, intricate yet fragile landscape that we share. And they’re our starting point for creating a collective improvisation mixing dense textures from the concrete of the city with delicate half-memories from recovered instruments.
