🐦⬛ Walk with us through Hampstead Heath... 🌳
‘Parliament of the Heath’ is a sonic essay exploring themes of birdsong, ecological familiarity, folk traditions and inheritances of knowledge about the natural world.
It invites listeners on a walk through Hampstead Heath as lost knowledge is recognised, mourned, recollected and reclaimed.
This is one of six sound pieces made by our MA Writing students in response to the English Folk Dance and Song Society’s collection (@the_efdss).
The students worked in collaboration with musicians, actors and arcane specialists to produce a series of sound works that range from extensively researched cultural reflection to improvised dramatic soundscape.
The recordings will broadcast on @resonancefm:
🗓️ Listen Mondays: 11 May, 18 May, and 1 June
📻 Shows are repeated on Saturdays: 16 May, 23 May, 6 June
Credits for ‘’Parliament of the Heath’’:
Birdsong recordings: @rspb
Chorus singers: Isha, Leon, and Rosita
Composition, Narration, and Research: Viola Fort
Sound Design and Research: Daphne Smith
Production, Direction, and Research: Amy Wilde
Editorial Management and Research: Ana Martínez de Buen and Xuan Shi
