This soundscape is based on a book written by Alain Corbin – Sound and Meaning in the Nineteenth-century French Countryside. Church bells played a very important religious, social, and communicative role within village and town communities. Bells helped form and locate communities in space and time and created a shared auditory and listening culture. 

This soundscape demonstrates some of the important roles church bells performed during this period. The soundscape also helps to contrast our own sense culture, our own modalities of attention. 

The bell sounds were not recorded but produced with a synthesizer. For two reasons, first it would be impossible to accurately replicate these historical sounds and secondly synthesized sounds allowed me to digitally manipulate their construction and contextual meaning.

Some of the rural sounds were obtained from the BBC sound archive, while the sounds of thunder were recorded in 2011 by Braham Hughes from an installation by Jaume Plensa, titled Jerusalem. The narrator is Lionel Barbedette-Green. The French conversation about the cost of contributing to the upkeep of the bells and communion of their daughter is between Lionel and Amanda Barbedette-Green

This is a repository for all my audio ideas. I find music production fascinating but difficult. Any feedback or suggestions would be much appreciated in the vain hope of helping me to improve
