dundee radio club – sounds dundonian
Sunday, 20 September⋅2:30 – 3:00pm
At 2.30 this afternoon our friends at ddrc have sent us a sonic postcard from Dundee – ‘sounds dundonian’…
a meander + a stride through the city, hearing from the pavement, moving through streets + slopes. tuning into shifting acoustics + sensing the geological + ecological histories that shape DD along + back from the edge of the river tay. thinking to its conflicting topography, taking us from tidal edge to volcanic hillside. moving with the ways that the tay is both central, yet circumvents – sonically exploring the tensions of proximity + separation, flow + obstruction, ascent + descent.
