As part of my residency with the Highland Culture Collective, I've
been working with the community at Am Fasgadh, a mental health
drop-in centre in Portree on the Isle of Skye. During 2022 and 2023
we have been listening together to radio, field recordings,
conversations, birdsong, sound effects and music, and letting these
shared listening experiences guide us towards discussion and
creativity.
These sessions have led towards a slow-radio project, in which we
discuss the sign at the turn off to Am Fasgadh, bad language,
medication and ghost cars, as well as exploring how we listen to
ourselves and each other. This piece has been selected for inclusion
in Radiophrenia 2023. |
