Listening Between: There Here
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.
Way Down to Pomona
This project offers an immersive audio exploration of Pomona Island, Manchester, using field recordings, electroacoustic music, oral histories, and archival materials accessed via the Echoes app through GPS location. The island, once a 19th-century leisure site with Pomona Palace and later a dockland, now serves as an urban wildlife refuge facing imminent development and gentrification.
Mediterranean alternatives: Towards a speculative art residency proto-history
Our story starts with the tale of two men. The first one is just arriving in Damascus at the turn of the 7th century after a long trip through the Syrian desert. The second is setting up for an expedition towards the desertic lands of the Maghrebian Rif mountains at the turn of the 21st. At a first glance, these two men might not seem to have much in common. While the story will unfold though, we will see how both are part of a common journey: the unpacking of a new way of understanding art residencies and their history…

This 18-minute stereo sound walk, set in a snowy field north of Hebden Bridge, UK, combines field recordings, ambient drones, and 1980s pop loops with a spoken monologue linking cultural figures like Leon Trotsky and Ian Curtis. The piece centers on photographer Charlie Meecham capturing the snowy scene used for Joy Division’s single "Atmosphere" cover, incorporating contributions from Paul Rooney and others.

As Artist in Residence at Cody Dock, Stephen Shiell worked with writer Melaina Barnes on a composition inspired by the natural, industrial and historical landscapes of the dock that sits on the banks of the River Lea.
The composition is made with field recordings, music box and voice, using one-minute observational poems written by Melaina during her time as writer-in-residence at Cody Dock.
The composition follows a circular walk from Star Lane station(London E16 4SR) along South Crescent to Cody Dock, through the Dock and along the River Lea path before turning back into the industrial estate to come back to Cody Dock.
