‘Fast Forward/Re-Wild’ (2021)
Site-specific audio experienced using the geolocating ‘echoes’ app in specific spots around Middlesbrough. This work imagines a future town centre with its buildings as a series of cliff faces, re-wilded and now home to colonies of birds. It proposes a function for the high street beyond buying things, asks us to reconsider what public space is for and to think about our connection to the natural world as we go about our day. It is made up of five parts, consisting of field recordings, voice and synthesised sounds.
