By the Wall, Where - Jayne Dent

from Sonic Encounters with Borders by Walking Festival of Sound

/

about

A ruined section of Hadrian’s Wall emerges between a betting shop and a leisure centre on Shields Road in Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne – the historical border of the Roman Empire, an ignorable relic on a busy street. This piece highlights the layers of history embedded in this place, from its time as the border of England and Scotland to its use as a site of coal mines and shipyards and as an edge-of-city residential and commercial space. Synthesisers burst like the sound of wind across a microphone and voice and concertina replace the sounds of chattering people and playing children, a hybrid of field recordings and responsive, improvised sounds exploring the perspective of the wall itself and the things it has seen.
