The next hour will be showcasing some audio works featured on xmtr.fm as well as some works produced by Social Broadcasts over the past year. The first piece you’ll hear is from a series of Audio Postcards commissioned for the Wild Eye Project by Invisible Dust in Scarborough who work with artists to explore the environment and climate change. Here are some sounds sent from the North Sea. Produced by Lucia Scazzocchio with sound design by Silvia Malnati.
Next, we travel down south to London and more specifically Hackney’s Ridley Road market where May Robson meets the local traders who are struggling with the imminent changes and inevitable gentrification.
Produced by May Robson with Tamara Stoll who is working on the save Ridley Road campaign. It was broadcast as part of the online magazine The History Workshop
Now, close your eyes and get ready to experience something a little more ethereal as we enter the cosmos through a rich tapestry of sound by Belgian artist Adrien Pinet. This is just one of the many sound works you can hear on xmtr.fm’s Francophone cousin, Radiola.be. It’s an amazing resource.
Our final selection of this hour is from an oral history project Lily’s Legacy, celebrating the life Lily Montagu a magistrate, social worker, writer and co-founder of the Liberal Jewish movement in the UK. Here are some memories of Lily. Project produced by Liberal Judaism with the National Heritage Lottery Fund. There is plenty more to listen to and watch on lilyslegacyproject.com
