A Multimedia Exploration of the Story of Vulcan, Blending Film, Poetry, Sound, Music, Art and Science
During our first research visit we spent a day at the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet Museum. It forms part of a former steel-working site on the River Sheaf in Sheffield with a history going back to at least the 13th century. Sounds of tools, metal objects, floors, doors and windows as heritage remnants have been curated, mixed and mastered by musicologist and composer Kim Cunio for this project. I was thrilled to see Kim as professional working totally ‘in the moment’, inspired by place and heritage as much as I was.
