Tarmachan Transmissions

A1 10.40 this morning – it’s Radiophrenia’s own Stevie Jones with an experimental documentary focussed on a collaborative recording session made at Tombreck – a sustainable housing collective on the banks of Loch Tay.

The piece works with off-cuts and disused, peripheral sounds from a make-shift studio set up in the community’s Big Shed. This piece acts as a recursive, companion piece to the Quinie album, ‘Forefowk Mind Me’, which was produced by Stevie with Josie Vallely and musicians Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh, Harry Gorski-Brown and Ollie Pitt. ‘Tarmachan Transmissions’ is as much a sonic portrait of place and community, located listening and DIY infrastructures as it is of co-creation and residency recording.
