Transmission details: Dark, Sloshing is an audio work by Sonia Levy and Lucy A. Sames, created in response to the heavily engineered and long-neglected riparian worlds of East Bristol’s historic industrial zone. The composition weaves field recordings and voice, moving above and below water, as it traces canals, bridges, electric grids, trainlines, and highways, poetically revealing submerged histories. The work interrogates altered dynamics of social, hydrological and urban processes, reflecting the city’s imperial, infrastructural, and ecological entanglements.
