In celebration of the ancient Roman god Terminus, god of boundaries, whose festival is 23rd February ... I walked the shoreline of my imaginary lockdown island - Contención Island (https://martinpeccles.com/other-sound-works/contencion-island/). Although I've waked this in sections before, I have never previously walked it in one go.
So, starting at about 05:50 I walked through the dawn and ended at 10:00 - four hours - the length of the shoreline was about 11 miles and the walk total was about 12 once I add in the distance from my house to the shore. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't much of a dawn chorus along the shoreline in February ... and it was quite windy ... force 4 to 5 gusting 6 to 7.

Terminalia: around Contención Island

The whole recording from myself and Mike's Easter Sunday throw down in Newcastle's premier Rave Boozer. Ambient through to some classic Detroit Techno. All vinyl, from myself and with a few bits I've never played before.

Thanks to Mike, for digging some fine music out and joining me. Always an education and thanks to Team Tanners, for allowing us to play what we do and for the fine hospitality

Enjoy!

Newcastle Civic Centre is the main administrative and ceremonial centre for Newcastle City Council. It was designed by the city architect, George Kenyon and completed in 1967. It was formally opened by HM King Olav V of Norway on 14 November 1968. It is a Grade II listed building.

The recordings were made by the BBC on 1st December 1967 and it was the first time the carillon bells were heard by the public. The bells are in the main tower of the civic centre and can occasionally be heard today.

A Carillon is a musical instrument typically housed in a bell tower of a church or municipal building. The instrument usually consists of at least 23 cast bronze, cup-shaped bells, which are played serially to produce a melody, or together to play a chord. A traditional manual carillon is played by striking a keyboard—the stick-like keys of which are called batons—with the fists, and by pressing the keys of a pedal keyboard with the feet. The keys mechanically activate levers and wires connected to metal clappers which strike the bells.

The recordings of the bells have been digitised from analogue tape reels by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums as part of the national Unlocking Our Sound Heritage project with the British Library. This is the first time they have been shared publicly in full.
