Alan Dunn, artists' collective Re-Dock & David Jacques with the Bootle and Seaforth communities around the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, with New Heartlands / Liverpool Biennial, April 2008 - September 2009

In April 2009, Dunn and Chris Watson worked with a group of BA and MA students from the Leeds Metropolitan University School of Contemporary Art & Graphic Design.

Based at the Canal's end point at the River Ayre, the group worked around the clock creating an audio portrait of a small stretch of the Canal.

Extracts were then moxed by the group working in small teams, for a surround-sound playback at the Innovation North Studios in Headingley. Four tracks were subsequently selected by Nikos Stavropoulos from INN as part of the Echochroma IV concert.
