Practical 4 - Eateries on University Park Campus

Written by Steve Ely, Orasaigh (2023) is a book-length 'apocalyptic landscape' poem anchored in the eponymous tidal island off the coast of South Uist, near the settlement of Boisdale. Although the poem never loses sight of its setting and context, it nevertheless roams widely and associatively through space and time, exploring history, culture, nature and conflict in an extended meditation on the precarity of life in the context of the Anthropocene. This soundwalk, commissioned by [Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre](https://www.taigh-chearsabhagh.org/), features Ely narrating excerpts of his poem with soundscape and music composed by Duncan MacLeod. An extended mix, as mapped on the island of Orasaigh and Boisdale (South Uist), can be streamed on [SoundCloud](https://on.soundcloud.com/635QpUiaE5oJHXkL7). __CREDITS__ Poem: [Steve Ely](https://pure.hud.ac.uk/en/persons/stephen-ely) Music and Soundscape compositions: [Duncan MacLeod](http://duncanmacleod.org/) Photographs: [Michael Faint](https://www.ansolasoir.com/) __PRODUCTION__ Narration: [Steve Ely](https://pure.hud.ac.uk/en/persons/stephen-ely) Bass Clarinet: [Charlotte Jolly](https://charlottejolly.co.uk/) Studio recordings: Juraj Fajnor Environmental field recordings: Juraj Fajnor & [Duncan MacLeod](http://duncanmacleod.org/) © 2023 [Steve Ely](https://pure.hud.ac.uk/en/persons/stephen-ely) & [Duncan MacLeod](http://duncanmacleod.org/).

Each is unique to its location and invites you to experience a familiar route from a new perspective.

Follow the instructions given by the narrator. The route is circular and will start and end at the Lawrence Batley Theatre courtyard. When you start the walk, you will see your current position as a Yellow dot on the map. If the app asks you about location settings, select ‘allowed all the time’ to improve GPS. If the sound disappears, just check on your map to find your route again. The walk will last around 45 minutes (depending on your speed) with some inclines, but no steps. The walk will wait for you and can be enjoyed at your own pace. As this is an audio experience, D/deaf audiences can choose to use the in-app captions. Visually impaired audiences may need a walking companion for safety with crossing roads. Walk This Play experiences are suitable for ages 12+
