about

Live recording.

North West Mixtape was an evening celebration at Manchester Central Library to mark the end of a three year project to preserve and make accessible so many of the north west’s most at risk recordings. The event began with the North West Mixtape film itself, which was a 45min compilation of recordings from the project. Each clip was carefully curated, subtitled and projected with simple soundwaves and changing colour blocks.

The oral history collections of Oldham's Women’s Mill Workers together with recordings of mills and looms were the perfect audio to ask sound artist Freda Wallace to work with. Freda performs with a micced up sewing machine and metronome through a mixer to create powerful industrial beats that are informed by experiences as a trans-woman and feminist in post industrial Manchester. She comes from a maternal line of textile workers so her response to these collections was deeply personal.
