Very interesting visit from Paddy Hartley yesterday. He did an amazing amount of research for his work; a lesson to be learned from this!
Paddy's work can be seen here:

I emailed him today thanking him for showing us his work, answering our questions etc. Also asked him if he used sound in is exhibitions and if not, would he be interested? The lovely man replied straightaway - he doesn't use sound but wouldn't rule it out, especially for fashion videos.
My plan for sound now is to finish off the call centre track and start immediately on something for the above.

Progress?
E-mailed Martin Griffiths and asked for his opinion on the First Light audio. Uploaded it to Soundcloud along with 'Kettle'.
Had response regarding sessions at Sheltered Housing in Cleethorpes and Grimsby; there are already several people teaching card making but there seems to be more interest in art classes. As long as my easel will fit into my ridiculously small car then this should be a rewarding experience. Having previously taught art at entry level I am well prepared regarding lesson content, handouts, materials needed etc. I can also use my teaching experience to produce lesson plans based on inclusive learning and covering all levels of ability. Am really looking forward to this!

Tried to record the actual message left by the robot on DWP's answer-phone; it wouldn't record! Interesting!
Played the First Light exhibition video and recorded the soundtrack in Audacity. It sounds even weirder when watching the data rather than the video footage. Toned down the voices, coughs etc. so it easier on the ear at high volume. Am quite excited about this field recording although not sure what I will use it for yet. Maybe I will contact Martin Griffiths and see if he has any suggestions...

Call Centres
OK, got the recording, courtesy of Ky. It makes uncomfortable listening which is perfect for my piece.
Am considering distorting the key of 'Spring' by a minuscule amount or even changing the major to minor at certain points in order to stress the anxiety of listening to it. Think I have everything I need now; Tally Ho!
