Episode Synopsis

I worked at the Greater Manchester Sound Archive for their event LGBT Voices. I was interested in the incidental sounds of the recordings of the oral histories including the pops, clicks and whirrs and creating rhythmic loops from these. It was amazing to delve into the archives, I was fascinated by the Jodrell Bank space tapes, the industrial mill sounds and the world music found within the Paul Graney archives. This is a rehearsal recording of the set, I performed a version of this live at Manchester Central Library on Friday 26th February 2016.
