Alnay

Having, through previous works, created the imagined island of Alnay, I walk its shoreline starting at dawn on the summer solstice June 2021; the work plays from 24h before the winter solstice to 24h afterwards. The work has two dimensions – my reading of my poetry of the walk and the recording of the walk. The poetry plays through a single speaker and the walking plays through the quadrophonic array, reflecting the microphone orientation as I walked.

The sound piece was a 4h 19m 20s 4-channel installation played in The Arches, Newcastle University, 15:58 20th December 2021 to 15:58 22nd December 2021.
