"A FIELD TRIP" with Glenn Boulter, Jim Tetlow, Mike Willoughby and the voice of Bob Dickinson, at Lanternhouse, 2011


December 2011. A composition for four radios and 4 players. Narrative read by Bob Dickinson at BBC Manchester (the last session before they levelled the place). The music  came through 4 small practice amps and the narrative was broadcast through 4 transistor radios set around the studio upstairs at Lanternhouse, Ulverston. The quality of the sound was affected by  the positioning and movement of the audience, reflecting the key themes of the piece. The recording was made on a Zoom, and through the in-camera mic, rather than through a desk in order to include these variations.
