Castle Road

A collaboratively-produced sound piece as part of Walls On Walls Camden50 project at Castle Road Estate, Camden, London.

 

The piece is inspired by historic local walls we discovered on a number of group walks. Residents explored the history of the area with visual snapshots and audio recordings, capturing stories of the residents life on the estate.

Harry and John who run the Tenants Association gave us an insight in to their years living on the estate. Tim recorded and edited sounds and stories from the nearby Camden Market. Following our visit to Tate Modern, Gavin led the patchwork aesthetic with ideas about how we might be influenced by the work of Patrick Caulfield. Sounds of the wall being created by Sky and her friends are incorporated into the final composition, which weaves together the views of a wide range of participants.
