Thin Air highlights the legacy of 1970s Leeds Polytechnic student Alan Smithson, who claimed that 'voices' he had recorded in the Polytechnic's H Building were sonic manifestations of memories that had been somehow preserved in the electromagnetic ether of it's rooms through a process which he called 'site-anamnesis'. Smithson also asserted that the particularly radical and eventful - and ultimately tragic - history of the building had contributed to it's facility for preserving and recalling the charged moments of remembrance. Thanks to Ron Crowcroft, Sonia Beck and Phill Harding. Commissioned by Leeds Metropolitan University, Sound and Music and MAAP. See less
