Tyneside Sounds Society #1 - King George V

with Michael McHugh

Sunday 23rd April 2017 22:00 - 23:00 BST

The Tyneside Sounds Society is a monthly broadcast dedicated to the recording and reinterpretation of the sonic environment and sound heritage of Tyneside in the North East of England.

Now: the first show in the series is dedicated to a gramophone recording from Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums, featuring a speech by King George V made in the Shipley Art Gallery on 10th October 1928 to mark the opening of the Tyne Bridge. Originally recorded by Columbia Records and featuring additional addresses by Gateshead Town Clerk W. Swinburne, the recordings were published by Columbia as a souvenir of the event. The Shipley Art Gallery celebrates its 100th Anniversary this year.

To mark the centenary, Tyneside Sounds Society orchestrated a Call Out for artists to interpret and rework the original speech into new works for broadcast. With the exception of the creative use of the voice, artists were requested to use only the original recordings, manipulated as they saw fit. The results will be broadcast on Resonance Extra, but you can heard all submissions in full over in a specially curated set on the Tyneside Sounds Society Soundcloud page.
