UK Crossfade
Saturday 14 June 2008 22:30-23:00 (Radio 3)
Charting a journey in sound through the UK, moving from west to east, and north to south, in a series of long, very slow and sometimes almost imperceptible fades from one location to another.
At the heart of the programme are location recordings and soundscapes from a wide range of places across the country - from the morning boats in a Devon harbour to an evening on the seafront in Skegness, via the daytime streets and quads of Oxford and a street parade in Spalding, to the sounds of rural Scotland and urban Lancashire. The journey follows a simple pattern, which listeners are invited to puzzle out for themselves.
