In late 2004 sound recordist Chris Watson worked with tenantspin and high-rise tenants on A Winter’s Tale, two new audio compositions based on field recordings made in Sefton Park and Liverpool City Centre between the hours of 3.00pm and midnight. Presented for the first time in tandem and in surround-sound, the two 40-minute compositions unfold into a stunning synchronised portrait of human and animal communities in Liverpool.
In 2003 tenantspin commissioned artists group Foreign Investment to create a new work entitled Sunday Matinee with residents of the five Sefton Park tower blocks. For one day the tenant flat in Buckingham House was bedecked in red with a live string quartet, the Red Choir, a dancer, Margo singing, George reading his poetry, Roger Philips reading verse, John on spoons, Dolly’s robot dog, red and black balloons and most luscious red buffet ever seen.
