Vague Wanderings #4 - The Hawkhurst Branch Line ▾
In this episode we trace the ghosts of the lost Hawkhurst Branch Line, which ran through the Kent countryside from 1892 to 1961. By collating site visits, local research, internet scrapes, experimental compositions and interviews, we resurrect this fading space from memory and archive.
The mostly forgotten sights and sounds of the Hawkhurst Branch Line exist momentarily here in dialogue with a fading legacy, as we dig collaboratively into the post-institutional terrain, following where the residual voices and spaces of the past now forge over time with the beautiful Kentish landscape that was left behind.
Live processing and gathered sounds form the basis of this study as we continue to ponder the nature of archiving shifting terrains and the possibilities for occupying, exploring and collaborating with forgotten or abandoned spaces.
Vague Wanderings is a bi-monthly collaborative live show from the 24-26 cohort of School of the Damned, exploring imagined spaces, temporary autonomous zones, collecting field recordings and the fertile topsoil of vague terrains.
