I wrote a little on this project to the list earlier in the year.
I am pleased to announce the release on CD (a high quality triptych
card digipak package - not jewel case) of Coleridge's Rime of the
Ancient Mariner - originally created by TNWK for Taxi Gallery's Radio
Taxi FM broadcast.
The recording is extraordinary - a sonic portrait of an entire
school, Coleridge Community College, Cambridge - pupils, teachers and
support staff including dinner ladies, caretaker etc - each voicing a
single line from the poem which reveals itself through this project
as speaking to the key issues of today : multi-culturalism, the
repurcussions of violence and humankind's relationship to nature. The
voices are underpinned by an atmospheric soundscape composed by cris
cheek and Simon Keep using recordings made in the school building ...
- it truly is a surprising and moving listening experience.
There's much more to tell you about this work but you can find it all
out on the accompanying website www.coleridgerime.info which includes
a range of teaching resources to accompany the recording.
