This 15-20 minute street-level sound walk in Chatham High Street, Kent, combines live ambient sounds with slowed and real-time skylark recordings from a nearby riverside nesting site. The route passes The Brook and Military Road, featuring underwater River Medway audio captured by hydrophone, with headphones recommended for full effect.
Elspeth (Billie) Penfold is a textile artist who brings her experience of teaching and research into performative work. In 2012 she formed the arts group Thread and Word. Through call outs and personal invitation Elspeth works collaboratively with invited artists and academics to develop performative walks. Elspeth was born in Bolivia, and she likens the digital threading of texts with the physical threading of Andean quipus.
