about

layered field-recording mix DESIGNED FOR HEADPHONES

a textured sonic voyage through the Dinorwig Quarries in North Wales

with respect to the Welsh people who dug out these vast holes

The recordings were made in August 2012, and include various sounds found in the quarries: slate-scrapes, slate-clatters, slate-clanks-&-clonks, slate-rattles, footsteps on slate, breeze through tunnels, water runnel, the om-hum of the hydro-turbine beneath the quarry, clanks of industrial archaeology, and sounds beyond the quarries including passing aircraft ...

The Dinorwig Quarries in Snowdonia are of genuinely awesome proportions. For climbers they have become a slate-wonder-land. Quarrying began in the 1780s and finally ended in 1969. Much profit was extracted by Englishmen whilst Welsh quarrymen and their families suffered appallingly.
