Epic Miner's Collage
26 April 11: I'm doing the sound and music for Epic, a show about the 20th century from Foster/Dechery. A lovely fun group of people, hard working, smart. As the show has been developing, I've felt a little behind the curve - I go to a rehearsal, see some fabulous ideas, go away and make some sounds, come back two days later, and everything has changed!
This is a collage based on the miners strike/Battle of Orgreaves in the 80s, made with clips from the essential freesound.org website (thanks to cc recordings from benbocan, acclivity, dobroide & brfindla). Turns out there's no space for this collage in the show - there are two scenes about the miners already - but the canaries and digging will make it in, as a bit of underscoring color...
