Over the 14 month period leading up to Easter 2012, Madeleine and Tim are creating a democractically collected distributed sound work with the Bermagui community. This involves group soundwalks led by locals, individual sound recordings by locals of the region, trips to record activities, events and environments across the region including the activities and sound environments of fishing, dairy farming, the sea, lyrebirds, Wallaga Lake at night, Gulaga Mountain by day, school bus trips, Anzac Day march, the pub on a Thursday night, and many many more.
This recordings will form both an archive to be hosted by the Bega Valley Shire Council and developed for the library system by local Graeme Gerrard, and a sound work which will be part of the Four Winds Festival, 2012.
A set of 10 Zoom recorders are held at the Four Winds office, freely available to be borrowed by interested people.
