Background
A bow draws across a string, a tape head scans a piece of magnetic tape, and a physical action becomes sound. The remnants of that action - the grain of the sound - can carry powerful and nostalgic associations.
This concert explores the connection between medium and nostalgia through a mixture of live performance, tape recording and playback, and fixed digital media.
This concert is made possible by generous grants from the Golsoncott Foundation, the Vaughan Williams Foundation, the Finzi Trust, and Steven Larcombe.
