Launch of the Terrington CD by the Yorkshire Sounds Project.

Yorkshire Sounds.

The project aims to capture the heritage of three villages in North Yorkshire through the recording of speech, music and ambient sounds. These will be Terrington, Rosedale and the Byland area.

The project will involve members of the community in researching and recording elements of local history, dialect, story, drama, music and song to create an audio "snapshot" of each community.

The community will be asked to identify and choose the sounds, songs, poems etc that are recorded. The group has already gained the interest and support in Terrington of the schools, the village choir and band, and other village groups.

The group has purchased a portable studio to carry out the group recordings and achieve high quality outputs. A professional sound engineer will assist to ensure high quality outputs and group members will be trained in recording techniques. A digital hand-held recorder will be used to capture individual inputs and ambient sounds.

The group plan to expand and develop the project once the HLF project has been completed and the equipment will therefore continue to be available to communities once the HLF project has finished. CDs will be produced for each village and made available via a local archive and through local libraries

Includes Terrington Choir, Tiefrung Gleemen, Terrington Players, Terrington CE School and Terrington Hall School.
