XMTR #02: Shipwrecks, the British coast and an Irish village in the hills
Diving for shipwrecks and lost treasure, reflecting on the coastal towns of Britain and an invitation to sit be the fire in an Irish mountain village.
We begin with an extract from Master of The Vessel, episode 2 of The London Compass podcast produced by Joel Cox and Theo Johnson where Nigel Pickford, shipwreck explorer and Mike Catcher, deeps sea diver take us into the murky waters of treasure hunting below the waves.
We then surface above water to the coastal town of Withernsea, where writer and Leed’s based artist Samra Mayanja reflects on change, boundaries and living by the sea. This is an extract from Edging Home, Episode 1, Withernsea.
Final stop Ireland, and more specifically to the mountain village of Kilfinane in County Limerick. In April 2019 audio artists and radio producers gathered there for the fourth installation of the Hearsay audio festival, 4 intensive days of listening to and talking about radio and the audio arts. As part of the festival sound artists and radio makers are invited for a residency in the village of Kilfinane to create a piece that reflects their time there. I heard this composition by French sound artist and documentary maker Benoit Bories at the festival and I think it truly captures through sound, the community spirit and generosity of the place. For the next 30 minutes I invite you to just close your eyes and let yourself be taken to this remote village in the hills. This is Kilfinane Heart Songs by Benoit Bories - Faidos Sonores.
