Tyneside Sounds Society #5

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.

This episode revisits a project undertaken by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums in 2012 called Half Memory, which explored the excavation of memory and imagination, the fleeting moment and The forgotten story.

The project invited artists and musicians working with sound and the moving image to unearth material from the vast collections of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums to inspire new work.

It’s a emotional mix and the oblique and fractured narrative of the voices combined with Steve’s lush ambient productions provide an emotive and moving listening experience.
