Description: Written and recorded between 2011-2012 by Lola & me (Baglady). When we were nowt but wee bairns!

In June and July, as part of the consultation process for Transported, sound artist Rebecca Lee and the SoundSpiral, an inflatable venue that has speakers all over its ceiling and walls, visited festivals, gardens and parks to play music and sound and bring people together. But we didn't want to people just to listen, we wanted them to speak too, and make their voices and the consultation conversations our material for creating a new piece that captures the importance of voicing your opinions. With all this in mind, it feels like much of this project has happened already, in the moments when over 80 people took a moment to speak into the microphone. 

We collected nearly 4 hours of recordings and the result is a 15 minute audio story with that reflects on the process of consultation and gives voice to the thoughts, concerns, ideas and stories of the people we encountered. 

Undertaking direct research in the community like Transported have, is a process where people are given the chance to talk about their world, and name it using their own language and style. So in addition to capturing discussions and conversations, I also asked people to trace out journeys that were important to them across the district, reading out the names of farms, villages, houses and roads along the way and together, creating a vocal map in the accents of local people that forms the structure of the piece. 

From Gardening through to Clouds is an audio journey through South Holland that reflects on the importance of people having their own voice and naming the world around them. You'll hear different people talking about their local area and the things that are important to them. You'll also hear some environmental recordings  and some imaginary journeys described along the way. 

With thanks to all of the generous people who gave their time and their voice, to Andrew Dennis, to the Institute of Crazy Dancing, to the Nu Urban Gardeners and to the Transported team.
