It's been a while since we made any site visits as part of our Fabric Silk Road project but today we had an invite to record the machines, environs and personnel at Vanners Silk in Sudbury. Ciaran Roche at Vanners, one of the five working silk weaving companies found in Sudbury, saw our activities online and said that we'd be more than welcome to come and have a chat about our project and see behind the scenes at their town centre mill. More info on our blog shortly. www.fabricsilkroad.co.uk

Stuart Bowditch Podcasts

MixPre - 1005 Dornier C12 Loom

Stuart’s work is inspired by location and the people, experiences and objects he encounters there. 
He is particularly interested in sounds that are associated with place, overlooked and overheard noises of the everyday and highlighting the auditory as a defining factor in how we experience a particular environment. 
​
His recordings of people, their activities, experiences and environs have contributed to art installations, phone apps, archival records, dance performances, public consultation events, musical compositions, a computer game, a eulogy and sound tracks to short films.
