Steal: Away: Home

From Brooklyn Works to Brooklynism

In early May 2019, composers Adam Stanović and Adrian Moore from the Department of Music of The University of Sheffield worked with students recording sounds in and around Kelham Island Museum, using these to create musical works that resonate with the space and place of Kelham Island. The resulting compositions were presented in the event From Brooklyn Works to Brooklynism

audiogentry (Adrian Moore, 2019) is a short soundscape work using field recordings made by staff and students in and around Kelham Island Museum. Prominent among the sounds recorded is the huge River Don Engine with squeals and bangs. Just off the island, on the other side of the Don, but still sitting easily against the loft apartments, restaurants, cafes and gastro pubs was Woodware Repetitions Ltd. (Wood turners), part of the famous George Barnsley dynasty.
