<div>Binaural version of <i>About Us</i><i>
– </i><em>For Us</em>, a soundscape composition created in the West Everton and surrounding areas.
It features the voices of three community members, alongside sounds
recorded in the local area.</div><div><br>
<p>The
name of the piece refers to West Everton Community Council’s (WECC) powerful
principle: “nothing about us, without us, is for us.” As a collaboration
between local residents (Adam Byrne, E and Ken Thompson) and an outside musician (John Lowndes), the
sound work explores ethnographic, sonic representation in an area affected by austerity
and the pandemic.</p><p><br></p>
<p>Due to COVID-19
restrictions, the work has been presented as a fixed, binaural work for headphone playback.</p><p><br></p><p>The visual image contains photographs taken by Ken Thompson and a map provided to me by Ann Roach of WECC. They are reproduced here with permission.<br></p></div>
