To mark the end of the 1 year residency at Space in London since Feb 2012, Power Station is a free download release by Shelley Parker. The residency has largely been inspired by Dungeness Power Station in Kent. The outcomes of this residency during the past year have resulted in spatial recordings from the power station translated in to 2 new compositions, a film (screened at Supernormal Festival (August 2012), a sound installation and a performance (July 2012).

CURRENT (March 2012) Current is a composition of site specific field recordings sourced at Dungeness Power Station focusing on the 200 HZ low hum of electricity resonating from the substation and the static hiss of pylons. The track is interrupted with a live recording of the audio files transfer from the sound recorder transforming the track into a live circuit of the site specific recording process. Equally Current draws influences from the physicality of the power station’s penetrating sound and it’s sonic similarity to the experiential impact of purpose built machine made music played through a large club sound system.
