Yorkshire Sounds
Location: North Yorkshire
This project aims to capture the heritage of at least three villages in North Yorkshire through the recording of speech, music and ambient sounds.
The group will involve all members of the community in researching and recording elements of local history, dialect, story, drama, music and song to create an audio "snapshot" of each community.
The community will be asked to identify and choose the sounds, songs, poems etc that are recorded and the group has already gained the interest and support of local schools, the village choir and band, the playgroup the drama group and local history group.
The group will purchase a portable studio to enable them to carry out this project and achieve high quality outputs. A professional sound engineer will assist to ensure high quality outputs and group members will be trained in recording techniques.
The group plan to expand and develop the project once the LHI project has been completed and the equipment will therefore continue to be available to communities once the LHI project has finished. CDs will be produced for each village and made available via a local archive and through local libraries.
A project website will be set up and group members will receive training in website design and maintenance to enable them to update the site.
