Devised in collaboration with Le Weekend in Stirling and sound in Aberdeen, this new commission looks at the very idea of place as part of its starting concept. Bates Mill in Huddersfield, the Church of the Holy Rude in Stirling and the Fraserborough Lighthouse share nothing in common except possibly their uniqueness. Bill Thompson has taken field recordings from each location and has built a sound world, which will create the backbone for the three musicians to explore the shifting sonic environment.
Produced my hcmf// co-commissioned by hcmf, Le Weekend and sound; supported by PRS Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Scottish Arts Council
