About
Seven sound artists spend an ordinary week in Verrow Market Hall building an installation from a 1974 broadcast archive and present-day recordings. Their technical challenge is that the two weeks cannot be synchronised; their ethical challenge is deciding what a signed form, a spoken yes, a refusal, and a name actually permit. As they measure room tone, examine microphone technique and read the market’s records, they choose what to include, what to explain, and what to leave silent.
