We're off to Wysing Polyphonic today for the ninth annual fesival. Just announced: The next Outlands tour visits Cambridge on Thurs 8th November at Cambridge Junction. With workshops also to be announced. More news soon.
Hidden Channels focuses on sound, discovery of hidden history and underground activity. and technologies outside the mainstream for working with sound, including 'obsolete' or self-invented techniques and equipment. Hidden Channels has presented events including an annual events within Kettle's Yard New Music, an exhibition of visual and sonic art at Cambridge Museum of Technology and site-specific performance at Spiller's Mill.
This talk will survey Hidden Channels activities, focusing on Cambridge Recorded History -- an ongoing project to discover the earliest recording of environmental sound made in the city of Cambridge. Finding these sounds often where they have been captured incidentally, the investigation has touched upon acoustic ecology, location filming, sound archives and ephemeral physical formats which both preserve and obscure information. At the heart of this are the hidden histories of self-organised sound recording in Cambridge starting in the 20th century and with echoes in activity in the city today.

'Uncanny, mesmerising, difficult and sublime' The Quietus
Documents will perform two pieces. "Music For The Execution Of Geoffrey Firmin" An imaginary séance for the tragic protagonist of Malcolm Lowry's "Under The Volcano" abstracting dialogue from the film adaptation of Lowry's book to achieve rapport the spectre of Firmin. "Last Broadcast at Boleskine" manipulates field recordings taken at the cemetery overlooked by Aleister Crowley's notorious Loch Ness home. These recordings, carried out on the 1st December 2015, anniversary of Crowley's death, shortly before Boleskine House burned down, constitute music to precipitate the violent demise of an abode on the borderland. Together these pieces explore landscape, film and documentary dialogue as a form of theatrical EVP.
