Real-time audio manipulation of archival recordings.
23min 46"
Exhibited in Cumbernauld Town Centre, North Lanarkshire, Scotland, March 2009.
Now in the collection of Cumbernauld Public Library.

This work arose from my interest in the town's history and the preservation of that history. Making parallels between the deterioration of archival material and the material of the town itself, a series of sound pieces were developed using recordings made from a VHS copy of the 1970 promotional film A Town For Tomorrow. These recordings are then digitally manipulated to create something which speaks of the present, while maintaining a connection to days past.
