From this Thursday — Saturday (18th — 20th August 2016), I’ll be based in the Brownlow Community Hub, continuing my sound mapping of spaces around Craigavon as part of the Capturing Craigavon project.
In this research project I am exploring different mapping strategies to find distinctive aspects of the sound environment in the new town.
I’m interested to hear about the different routes people take through the town on the black paths, and special places that people like to visit. The sound map will catalogue everyday sounds and people’s connections to them – from birdsong, wildlife and natural sounds to the sounds of machines, vehicles and music played in public.
I’ll be listening to the stories already gathered for Capturing Craigavon, and I’m also keen to talk to more people who live in the area. All are welcome to come along to the Hub to discuss the project or contribute. (I will also have some recording equipment and you can feel free to use it to make your own recordings, too.)
Drop in on Thursday, Friday or Saturday: I will be around from 11am — 5pm each day.
