The Mountain of Magic

A Series of experimentations using recordings of my voice talking about Plymouth and fielding recording that Ive collected of intense sounds around different areas in Plymouth. These are then combined and distorted, beocming my repesentation of Plymouth.

Have You Heard Plymouth? Geo-tagging experience based in the non tourism areas of Plymouth. These five tracks are made up of field recordings and voice narration, which are then edited visually to create unrecognisable but located pieces. Listen and Explore the city of Plymouth.

Reconnect with your Ancestors and the Earth. The Blood Memory Experience is an ethnographic storytelling project exploring the experience that humans hold ancient as well as recent memories in our veins and bodies and that these memories can be triggered and awakened to reveal both knowledge and trauma. Go for a walk in selected areas of nature to listen to curated stories of blood memory and let it inspire you to tell your own story. New stories are added weekly. Follow @bloodmemory_xr on instagram for information on how to submit your own memories and become part of our manifestation of a beautiful future together.

Part of the Spaces to Speak project, ‘On the Tip of My Tongue’ (commissioned by talking on corners), is cultural futurist Lauren Craig’s creative response to five interviews between Lorna Rose and global majority creatives in Plymouth. Craig created public sound art in the form of spatial audio collage encompassing the voices from the interviews, for the people of Plymouth to embody whilst exploring geolocated landscapes. The audio collages are a way for the creatives’ voices to be heard within central Plymouth, reflecting the energy of their practices and the plurality of their experiences. You are invited to take a self-directed journey around parts of Plymouth, slow listening by engaging in your familiar surroundings through a different lens. This is 1 of 5 interviews available on Echoes. We advise downloading the audio collages onto your smartphone to listen to them (streaming the walk uses a LOT of phone data).
