Spring Manoeuvres
| Spring Manoeuvres was largely created
at the Wells Centre in the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea. It is a forty
minute montage of recordings and performances made entirely on location
in Norfolk during March and April 1986. It contains a vivid record of community
music-making in its widest sense. Several hundred people, from schoolchildren
to the most senior of local citizens, from rock and folk bands to early
music groups, brass bands to orchestras, along with songwriters, poets and
writers all contributed to its material. The work was made possible by a
collaboration with the unique skills and imagination of recording engineer
Gareth Stuart and sound recordist Nicola Lipp. Much of the location material
was recorded directly onto one of the early 'portable' digital recorders,
the Sony PCM F1, and then transfered, for the purposes of montage, to 16
track tape. |
