Two works for Radio by Harvey Young. First Lament for the Old Clock tells the story of an 18th-century agricultural worker plunged into the vicious new frontier of industrial capitalism who must leave his simple agrarian existence behind and submit to the callous and dehumanising demands of the factory floor. The piece documents the change in temporality from the feudal notion of cyclical, reverential time to the concept of future-oriented progress that defined the beginning of the industrial revolution.

Footsteps Whistle Through My Valley is an audio paper detailing and exploring interactions with the Tees-Exe Line, a physiographic boundary stretching from the mouth of the River Tees in North Yorkshire to the mouth of the River Exe in Devon that roughly divides Britain into its lowlands and uplands.
