A short round walk exploring some of the urban graffiti and industrial wonders of Meersbrook area of Sheffield. Inspired by Tower Block Metal's recommendations. https://www.towerblockmetal.co.uk/

Welcome to this tour of Meersbrook Park. The park has been a wonderful space during 2020, for exercise, revitalisation, solace and connection. As you wander around, you will automatically trigger various 'echoes', spoken word or music reflecting some events, experiences and memories that are now so anchored in this special place. If you listen to all of everything, it takes a couple of hours. Tarry a while and take in the wonder of the world that surrounds you. There's the odd sweary bit! Enjoy!

Starting at 'The Crow's Nest', allow three generations of a local family to guide you through the woods and open green spaces of Heeley People's Park. Albert will share its past; a housing estate with neighbouring woodlands, streams and infrastructure. Andy will describe how his community Trust found it, and the process of its development into the park you see around you. Ollie will highlight its importance to his and future generations. Field recordings captured in and around the park have been layered to reflect the dialogue, and processed to create an immersive experience which fluctuates between naturalistic and musical. In order to make the most of these unique interviews, you are encouraged to remain in each zone until the dialogue is finished. However, there is no set path and any route you choose will be soundtracked according to your unique location. The longer you stay in a zone up until approximately 5 minutes, the more the compositions will develop. Some locations within the zones offer their own unique sonic additions to the soundscape which will gain clarity as you approach their source. This unique dissemination of information and experience is intended to reflect the unique and turbulent history of the landscape, and the sensory experience of those within it. Over time, this experience has changed with the shift from dereliction to greenery, from trains to cars, and from community, to consternation and (hopefully) back again. 'Heeley People's Park: An Aural History' offers site-specific discourse on these changes, but as you immerse yourself in this augmented reality, be wary of the intersecting roads that disrupt the peaceful verdancy of the park and host hundreds of cars each day.

A Ladder is Not the Only Kind of Time is an album by the composer Benjamin Tassie. Recorded in Sheffield's historic Rivelin Valley, the album features three new water-powered instruments: a harpsichord, hurdy-gurdy, and hydraulis (or water organ). Powered by the river, the instruments produce sound mechanically. Water-wheels turn to ‘play’ the harpsichord and hurdy-gurdy, while the water organ is sounded as water displaces air within the instrument (a system based on an Ancient Greek design). Combining mechanically-produced historical-music, film, field-recoding, and live performance, A Ladder is Not the Only Kind of Time explores ideas of heritage, place, and our changing relationship with the landscape. Each track was recorded at the site of a former water mill in the valley. This sound walk returns the music to the locations it was recorded in. A Ladder is Not the Only Kind of Time is released on the Birmingham Record Company label.
