Tiny Stories Complete by Rob Godman

All seven Tiny Stories - back-to-back!

1. Ghost Trains
…a brief encounter with the 'ghost’ of Rachmaninoff?

2. Synchronised Clocks
…when time wasn’t regulated by caesium-133. The beauty of being ‘out of time’.

3. Swinfen Hall
..the start of The March of Women, and the need for Patience?

4. Ships in Bottles
…the message in a bottle? Two pints of sound, to take away please…

5. Snowglobes
…the magic of the snowglobe and accidental discoveries, musical wine glasses hung by string…

6. Electricity Pylons
…the sculptural beauty of electrical transmission and the relentless need for more power…

7. Quiet (please)
…from a lockdown dawn chorus in Guilden Morden, to the noisy quiet of Rome’s Pantheon..., why quiet needs time…

Kate and Rob have created seven tiny stories for the online Lichfield Festival. These little collages of music-and-spoken-word are all less then 5 minutes long and form a wünderkammer of curiosities…. ghost trains, snowglobes, clocks, electricity pylons, ships in bottles and an extraordinary Lichfield feminist icon. They conclude with a reflection on the strange and silent times in which we find ourselves. All the material was created and recorded in Rob and Kate’s separate homes and Rob’s soundscapes are derived from the sound of Kate’s voice, field recordings made during the lockdown and original composition. We hope that you enjoy exploring these eclectic, dream-like miniature worlds.
