..sad to report that the Kingswear Castle has left the Medway Riviera for it's original home on the River Dart, Devon .. she will be sorely missed, very happy that we had the chance to Ri-zound' onboard before she left, sadly there aren't any other boats with her capacity serving the Medway. http://www.pskc.freeserve.co.uk/

.. Ri-zound' has been shortlisted for a 2012 Medway Culture Award in the Performing Arts category, so thanks again to the Ri-zounders, photographers, Fuse, Kingswear Castle Paddlesteamer & Kent Cultural Baton for demonstrating that culture takes many forms and reaches outside the high falutin' institutions of the metropolis .. looking forward to 2013

We had a great & blustery day in the Baton by the River at Chatham, lots of visitors came to watch and listen to Ri-zound' at Fuse Festival, enjoyed the spectacular sweep of the riverscape with views to Rochester Castle, Medway City Estate and Chatham Historic Dockyard and added their own sounds from the riverbank to our wall of sound cards.

Looking forward to going to Rochester Castle with it today, swapping a riverside setting for a lofty overview of the iconic turn in the Medway as it twists at the Rochester Strood bridge.

Peter Murray expertly ri-zounds above, having participated in Jane's projects since 2009.  Sara took individual portraits of other core and new Ri-zounders during their voyage, making their favourite river 'sounding'.

The Medway truely resounded yesterday afternoon through the mist and rain thanks to all the wonderful Ri-zounders who came aboard the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer to participate in this embodiment of Medway's river sounds.  The intrepid Ri-zounders swaddled in waterproofs enjoyed a one off Fuse Festival circular trip from Rochester to Gillingham Reach.  Many seeing their Medway Towns from the river for the first time. We mingled, shared river stories, histories and sounds, kept topped up from the tea bar and then crowded under the canopy on the main deck to Ri-zound for the Festival.

The title Ri-zound' is a play on the words River Sounds & resound and references the phonetic style used to create the vocal score we 'Ri-zounded' from.

In the run up to the festival weekend all 3 ri-zound artists Jane Pitt, Mike Snarr & Sara Norling are editing digital sound recordings & photos from the event yesterday as a document to be presented in the Kent Cultural baton airstream caravan - look forward to seeing you there Sat 16th Chatham Riverside nr Library & Sun 17th Rochester Castle Gardens 12-5pm..  come and share your river sounds or try making the ri-zound sounds ..

Medway River sounds are ranging pretty extremely with the current weather!  Have been out and about limbering up my ears and creating the 'score' we'll vocalise this coming monday.  Excited to meet all the Ri-zounders onboard and embark on this unique festival pleasure boat trip together with them.

Following my last reccy on the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer (http://www.pskc.freeserve.co.uk/) with photographer Mike Snarr (www.mikesnarr.com), who will be taking shots of the Riverscape to present in the Kent Cultural Baton on 16th/17th June, I took a second trip this time with photographer Sara Norling (www.saranorling.com) who will be focusing on the participants and details on board to present in the Baton also.  Sara made a short film of the engine room..that wonderful rhythm again..

Went aboard the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer yesterday to do a Ri-zound reccy & record some field sounds.  The pistons and paddles make a beautiful subtle rhythm that will underscore our voices as we Ri-zound together along the Medway.  I've posted some close up recordings to share

here, it's pretty quiet around the boat so we'll be able to take in the whole soundscape of the river
