Modern Tendring Vernacular

Colchester based sound artist Stuart Bowditch is collecting the sounds of Tendring buildings for a new project called Modern Tendring Vernacular. He’s looking for the sounds of buildings or their use, that could be from municipal or religious buildings, industrial or maritime structures, public or private houses. For example, it could be the sound of the Church bell or a service from inside, the shutter of an industrial unit or the manufacturing process happening within.

You can get involved in two ways:
- Make a suggestion of something to be recorded by emailing Stuart
- Send a recording (this could be made on your phone, or audio recorder such as a Zoom) to Stuart using WeTransfer or other similar file transfer service.

The email to use for either of these options is stuartbowditch@icloud.com

Stuart will be using these sounds to make a new album that will be performed at an event at curated by Colchester Creative on 7th March 2024.

The project is funded by Creative Colchester's First Thursdays, and supported by Courier and East Anglian Noise Alliance.
